The Library
The Society's library was created by purchase and gifts from members
and now contains a number of very interesting and rare books. From time to time
gifts and bequests have added to the library, bringing new interests to
members.
Everard Green, F.S.A. (1844-1926), Rouge Dragon and Somerset Herald, donated his own library, chiefly concerned with genealogy and heraldry; Ashley K. Maples (1868-1950), a generous benefactor of the Society, made extensive bequests, and George W. Bailey (1880-1955) left to the Society his library of art books together with his drawings and paintings.
As a result of gifts, bequests and purchases, the library contains extensive sections on archaeology, numismatics, natural history, history, genealogy, heraldry and theology as well as numerous works of reference. There is a comprehensive Lincolnshire collection.
