RNELHS Journals & Bulletins
Annually the Society publishes a Journal containing articles submitted by members. The first was issued in 1978 and replaced a former publication called the RNELHS Bulletin which had been constrained to typewritten script whereas the Journal includes pictures. Both publications contain a wealth of information on local and associated history.
Many Bulletins and all Journals, apart from recent issues, can be viewed here. Physical copies can also be seen at Uxbridge Library or at Ruislip Library on request.
The Section headed Articles by Year and Reference lists the publications in chronological order. Those with a hyperlink can be viewed in a separate window on your screen. Most articles can be individually displayed but in some cases you have to scroll through the journal.
Each article has a sequence number which together with the last two digits of the year of publication provides a unique reference number e.g. 79/1 is the first article of the 1979 Journal. The two indexes below use these article reference numbers and can be used for searching Journals but not Bulletins.
The
Keyword Index is an alphabetical list of topics. Each article is listed by up to 12 major
themes. This index is not a complete list of all names or
places mentioned, but aims at least to cover all cases where there is a paragraph or more concerning a
subject, place, building or individual. Locations are identified by modern street names, not by the
names in use at the time in question.
The Author Index is an alphabetical list of authors giving the reference numbers of all articles written by them.
Text searching
Unless the hyperlink to the document is flagged with an asterisk you can search it for specific words or characters.
To search an individual document on screen use CTL F (Microsoft) or CMD F (Apple).
To search all publications use a general Internet search. To reduce the number of hits you may restrict the search to RNELHS documents only. To do this using, say, Google, please paste into your browser: -
xxxxxx site:btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site8867
and change the xxxxxx to the text you want to find. For example, to find references to the house "Ramin" enter :-
Ramin site:btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site8867
Remember that the application used to facilitate text searching is not always accurate so even though a search may not find the word or words that you are searching for, this may not always mean that the word(s) are not contained within the document.
