Navy Records Society (NRS)

Description

The Navy Records Society (NRS) was founded in 1893 by historians, naval officers, publicists and statesmen to publish original materials on the history of the Royal Navy. The Society has published volumes of original documents and papers almost every year since its foundation, and it publishes an annual volume in print and online. It is a registered charity and a membership society.

The Society also publishes an online magazine, with new postings at least once a month. It reported just over 800 members in July 2026, and it reports that its archive is housed permanently at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
