The Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society is a learned society concerned with the history and antiquities of the City of Bristol and the historic county of Gloucestershire.
The aims of the society are to "advance and promote the education of the public in the history, heritage and archaeology of Bristol and Gloucestershire".
The society acts as a text publication society, and between 1952 and 1985, its Record Section issued 13 editions of Bristol and Gloucestershire records and related material, all now available via its website.
(This Series does not publish records relating exclusively to Bristol, to avoid undue overlap with the activities of the separate Bristol Record Society, founded in 1929.)
The society has also published occasional monographs and thematic essay volumes relating to its areas of interest.
