JOURNAL ARTICLES: 1981 – 2008

 

Although the East Belfast Historical Society was founded in 1970, it did not publish its first Journal until June 1981. Since then it has published a journal at regular intervals (usually in alternate years), the most recent one being in November 2009. Copies of this and previous journals are kept in our archives.

 

The following is an alphabetical list of all the articles which have appeared in our 16 Journals, also the name of the author and the number of the Journal; the Journals are published in Volumes each of which contains 4 editions – for example the last Journal, which was our 16th, was Volume 4, Number 4 or 4:4
