About the Transactions of the Sabine Baring-Gould Appreciation Society


The SBGAS Transactions have been produced annually since 2001 as a record of talks given at the Society's Annual Gathering and for other material of interest to SBGAS members. The publication was the brainchild of Philip Weller who edited the Transactions through its first five volumes, before illness forced him to give the task up. From the 2007 issue (volume 7) the task of Editor has been carried out by Martin Graebe.

The contents of the Transactions since commencement are listed in the following index:
