Surely the Colonial Society's greatest contribution to scholarship
in early American history has been its many publications. Beginning
in 1896, they appear under two headings: either Transactions or
Collections. The Transactions contain records of the Society's
activities, membership, meetings, papers either read or transmitted
by title, memoranda, documents, and memoirs of deceased members.
Collections consist of primary source material or the proceedings
of conferences.
The Transactions that appeared prior to World War II (vol. 1
through vol. 34) contain in addition to the above listed material,
a rich feast of notes and remarks regarding papers and artifacts
brought in for exhibit and discussion at meetings. The last volume
of Transactions (vol. 43) appeared in 1966. Transactions volumes
average about 500 pages, and each is provided with an index. Since
1966, the Society has focused increasingly on documentary publications
and the proceedings of its scholarly conferences.
