Home page History of the NWLHG We have published our journal annually since the early 1970s. It is produced entirely by the hard work of members of the Committee who give up some of their spare time to commission articles and reviews, edit submissions and get the final copy designed and printed. The result is a readable and accessible mix of research articles, book reviews and related material. Some back issues are still available for purchase.
