The New Forest Record Series This initiative has been started to provide an outlet for the publication of documents that will be of benefit to those researching various aspects of the New Forest. To provide a financial basis for the project, an approach was made to the European Community New Forest LEADER+ 2000-2006 Programme, a funding stream provided by the European Union. This backing provides for publication of the first five volumes of the series which are as follows: You will need the Adobe Reader to view these PDF files - you can download the reader by clicking on the button to the left.
