EspañolCAMDEN SOCIETY
:''Not to be confused with the Cambridge Camden Society.''
The 'Camden Society', named after the early English historian William Camden, was founded in 1838 in London to publish early historical and literary materials, both unpublished manuscripts and new editions of rare printed books.
The original membership was 500. It reached a peak of 1250 in 1845, and began to decline thereafter. For an annual subscription (originally £1 per year), members received the Society's publications, roughly two volumes per year. The Society published some works jointly with the Early English Text Society.
By the 1880s, the Camden Society was experiencing financial problems, brought about in part by a project to create a general index to its first 100 volumes. In 1896, the Society merged with the Royal Historical Society.
