The Catholic Record Society (Registered Charity No. 313529), "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom", founded in 1904, is a scholarly society devoted to the study of Reformation and post-Reformation Catholicism in England and Wales. Particularly active members in its early years were Joseph Gillow, J. H. Pollen, and Joseph S. Hansom. The society was initially established as a text publication society, with the aim of publishing Catholic historical records. Only later did it become a more general historical society. It has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available. This volume contains the annalls of the Venerable English College, Rome. The traditional name for these annalls is the Liber Ruber. The first part of the Liber Ruber is a list of alumni, consisting of a register of students from 1579-1783. The second part of the Liber Ruber is a collection of miscellany including administrative and financial material. This particular book is a reproduction of the Liber Ruber for 1631-1783. .
