The Pilgrim Trust and English Ecclesiastical Archives, 1930–C.1960
The records of the Pilgrim Trust, founded in 1930, are held at the London Archives. The trust’s activities have played a major role in the preservation of, and access to, English episcopal archives. This essay examines the crucial role of the Trust in the period immediately before and after the Second World War and its impact on the preservation of, and access to, English episcopal archives, and developments in the wider British archival world

Squire and Community
This article looks at a small English rural estate, and at the role of its squire, in the early twentieth century. It describes the estate, parish and village of Holton-le-Moor as inherited by the Reverend T.G.

The United States, however, shall be at liberty to maintain such military police along the canal as…
The Development of International Law
In his letter asking me to make the opening address this morning, the secretary of the Society describes the topic as “ The Second Hague Conference and the Development of International Law as a Science.” There is certainly nothing small and narrow about this text for a discourse, while at first blush it would seem to be made up of two parts not particularly related. Any impression of that sort is dispelled, however, by a little reflection
