Wonderful to Behold: A Centenary History of The Lincoln Record Society 1910 – 2010
‘Wonderful to Behold: this sentiment was conveyed to the Lincoln Record Society (in the appropriate telegraphic Latin form ‘Admirabile contemplatu’) by its younger colleague, the Suffolk Records Society on the occasion of the luncheon celebrating the completion of the monumental edition of the Registrum Antiquissimum in September 1973. It seems appropriate to use it again now, as the Society celebrates its Centenary with the publication of this, the one hundredth volume in the series inaugurated by its foundation in October 2010.
