Historian
Articles 1984 - 2007
The Harborough Historian is published jointly by the Market Harborough Historical Society and the Harborough Museum. It was first published in 1984 and contains short articles and notices of research in progress on the history of Market Harborough and the forty or so parishes within ten miles of the town which forms the collection area of the Harborough Museum. This publication is free to members. Copies of the Harborough Historian, past and present, are on sale in the Harborough Museum, Quinn's Bookshop, Waterstone's and Walkers Books for £7.50 each.
