Bulletins do not have a regular publication schedule. They appear when a particular piece of work is ready for publication. Normally, one copy is distributed free to fully paid up members of the Society.
Additional copies are available to purchase whilst they remain in print and may also be available to purchase on CD. Contact the Secretary, David Lyne, for prices and further details - contact details at the foot of this page.

Bulletins

Bulletins have been published by the Society since 1976 and we are currently working on making all past copies available in digital format.
front cover of Bulletin 19
In 2008, Bulletin 19 won the Association for Industrial Archaeology award for Journals.
It contained obituaries of the Leicestershire Industrial Archaeologist, Peter Neaverson and former LIHS President, Richard Thomson, as well as studies and publications previously produced by Peter Neaverson.
Until recently, Bulletins contained a variety of articles and reports. Now our Newsletter fulfills that function and Bulletins are reserved for publishing longer pieces of research undertaken by members

For example, David Ramsey's detailed and fully illustrated history of early slate and granite quarrying at Groby and Swithland, Leicestershire. This appeared as Bulletin 18.
