Wiltshire Victoria County History

A set of Wiltshire volumes was planned from the start; the authors engaged included Maud Davies, who began writing in 1906.

[3] Work is expected to proceed more slowly, according to available resources, but will continue to be overseen, and volumes published, by the Institute of Historical Research of the University of London.

[20] It did not control the day-to-day work of the staff (who were initially employed by the University of London and later by the University of the West of England), but from the early days of the Wiltshire County History project the committee was responsible for ensuring that funding was available for staff salaries and other expenses, offices provided, and suitable projects undertaken.

The Committee was wound up in 2014 after all major contributors had withdrawn their funding for the Wiltshire VCH, so that there were no longer any partners to be represented.

At that point, the project was handed over to the Wiltshire VCH Trust, with support from the national organisation of the Victoria County History.
