This resource brings together recently published works alongside earlier titles, reflecting the breadth of research and writing connected with the county—from academic monographs and excavation reports to local history studies and specialist catalogues . We invite individuals, local societies, publishers, and researchers to contribute details of relevant publications to help expand and maintain this comprehensive reference.

Whether you are an author, editor, librarian, or enthusiast, your contributions can help build a more complete picture of Kent’s archaeological and historical literature.
Entries may be selected for inclusion in the Society’s Books section to support research, promote publications, and highlight the depth of scholarship relating to Kent. When submitting, please provide full bibliographic details along with any relevant links, summaries, or images where available. Our editorial team may make minor edits for clarity or consistency before publication.
