The Local Population Studies Society (LPSS) was created in 1972 to bring together individuals interested in all aspects of local population history. In 1968 a small group of academic and “non-professional” historians launched what was then called a magazine and newsletter containing articles and notes relating to local population studies and related topics. This magazine was called Local Population Studies. While these two organisations had close links, they were formally separate until 2005 when they merged. The journal Local Population Studies is now one of the many outputs of the Society, run by the Editor and the Editorial Board. The other activities of the Society include the bi-annual Newsletter, a series of conferences and a series of publications.
