Richard Gaunt has been appointed as an Editor for RHS Camden Series
About the Camden Series
The Royal Historical Society’s Camden Series is one of the most prestigious and important collections of primary source material relating to British History, including the British empire and Britons’ influence overseas.
The Society (and its predecessor, the Camden Society) has since 1838 published scholarly editions of sources—making important, previously unpublished, texts available to researchers. Each volume is edited by a specialist historian who provides an expert introduction and commentary.
The Society is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Richard Gaunt as one of the new Editors for its prestigious Camden Series (https://royalhistsoc.org/publications/camden-series/) of scholarly editions. Dr Gaunt will share the responsibility for editing and commissioning future Camden Series volumes from 2022. Titles in the Series offer modern scholarly editions of previously unpublished primary source materials relating to British history.
The Society publishes two Camden volumes each year with Cambridge University Press. The Series now extends to over 325 volumes of primary sources, medieval to modern. An important objective for the new editors, and the Society, is to promote the wider Camden Series, in print and online, to a new generation of researchers.
