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 two-volume set is a collection of the responses of the stduents entering the English College at Rome to the questionnaire they were given upon arrival. The questionnaire put six questions to the students regarding their parents, their family's economic status, their studies up to that point, their Catholic faith, and their membership in the college. The questionnaire and responses are in Latin. These volumes offer summaries in English after each Latin response to the questionnaire. .
