ABSTRACT
The conferences themselves have always been delightfully informal and a good mix of young and old, clerical and lay, amateur and professional. Besides full-length papers there are shorter communications and brief announcements of work in progress. The primary step in the new development has been the registration of, and the making accessible of, the materials for recusant history. The catalogue of the Birmingham Catholic Diocesan Archives by the late D. McEvilly, and its publication by the National Register of Archives, was a model of its kind.
