The Society's objectives were to encourage the study and preservation of historical records relating to Norfolk.
This led to the foundation of the Suffolk Records Society as a separate and independent bofy.
All publications are carefully edited, indexed and include introductions explaining the background of the documents they present.
The Society continues to publish on a wide range of subjects and encourages new researchers and members to submit ideas for future publications.
The NRS maintains an extensive collection of historical resources, which are on deposit at the Norfolk Record Office at the Archive Centre in Norwich.
