The Society for Nautical Research records were deposited on loan from 1977 onwards. Permission to use them should be obtained from the Honorary Secretary. They consist of: Council minutes, annual reports of the Council and reports from sub-committees, 1926 to 1977; minutes of the preliminary General Meeting, 1910; minutes of Annual General Meetings from 1930, though many between 1940 and 1958 are missing; lists of members, though these appear to have been issued intermittently; statements of accounts for the Society and its different funds, 1910 to 1966; and correspondence relating to the Society's activities from 1911, with a large number of gaps but including papers relating to the IMPLACABLE, 1915 to 1946, and to the VICTORY, 1922 to 1972.
