313529) is a scholarly society devoted to the study of peri- and post-Reformational Catholic Church in England and Wales founded in 1904.
[1] It has been described as "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom",[2] and has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available.
The Society has made its historic publications of source material available in digital format on its website which is being developed as a resource for anyone interested in Catholic history.
[8] A residential three-day conference is organised each year, at which the Society's AGM takes place.
Since the closure of Plater College, the conference has been held in Liverpool, Cambridge, York and Leeds.
