"...these essays offer evidence of the vitality of local and regional history; and that is something for which all those interested in how the past has shaped the present can be deeply grateful." Archives "That some of the chapters in this attractive book invite further questions, besides those which they answer, is a tribute to the stimulating character of such an immensely well-deserved presentation." G.E. Aylmer, Journal of the Society of Archivists "...fulfils its twin functions of promoting local history as it celebrates the work of Joyce Youings... The volume is a valuable resource for researchers, but it remains the model of a well-produced thematic collection." Sixteenth Century Journal
