The Victoria histories of the English counties represent scholarly local
history research. Begun around 1900 this project has published volumes for
some thirty percent of the English counties. Among the subjects included are
the Domesday Books, bibliographies, eminent persons, maps, topographical
accounts of parishes and manors, parish histories (including religious houses)
and descriptions of hospitals, industries, schools, and sports. For two
counties, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire, there are separate genealogy
volumes.
