Indexes to the Journal of the St Agnes Museum Trust

Nos 1-27, 1985-2023

Compiled by Peter W. Thomas

Introduction  

The references under each heading consist of the relevant Journal number (in bold type) followed by the relevant page number(s) within that Journal. Multiple references are separated by an oblique stroke (/). Though some earlier numbers of the Journal are now out of print, the articles in them can be obtained via the Museum website.  

The principles on which the indexes have been compiled should be largely self-explanatory. The Name Index comprises the names of writers, editors, compilers etc. of individual contributions. Editorials are not indexed, but since the Journal’s editors are responsible for the shape and content of the issues they oversee their names are given here for the record: Roger Radcliffe (nos 1-15), Colin Harris (nos 16-18), Peter Thomas (nos 19-27). (As it happens their names appear in the indexes as contributors of individual articles. We also have Colin Harris to thank for producing retyped and improved versions of some early Journals, though it is the ‘first editions’ which are indexed here.)  In the Title Index, a definite or indefinite article (‘The’, ‘A’ or ‘An’) which occurs as the first word of a title is disregarded when determining alphabetical order, in accordance with recognised practice. General subjects within the Subject Index are to be understood as including the words ‘with reference to the Parish of St Agnes’; this index also includes the names of persons who are the subject of biographical or autobiographical articles. 

Most contributions to the Journals are illustrated. An asterisk (*) preceding a reference under a personal or group name means that the article in question includes at least one illustration (usually a photograph) of that person or members of that family or other group. Occasionally an illustration is a contribution in itself rather than an enhancement to a written article. In these cases, the artist’s name is indexed.
