Description (What the record is about)

The records consist essentially of the archive of the Old Board of Agriculture 1793 - 1822, and the archive of the Royal Agricultural Society from 1838 - 196-.
The Old Board material is not extensive but contains a valuable run of minutes, including those recorded by Arthur Young while Secretary of the Board. The Royal Agricultural Society's records, on the other hand, are both detailed and fairly complete. They include, for example, minutes, reports on proceedings of Council and Committees, lists of members and correspondence, accounts, legal papers, social and personal ephemera.
