Between 1892 and 1914, the Folk‐Lore Society published seven volumes in a running series entitled the County Folk-Lore Series, essentially compilations of printed material. This venture of the Society has never been looked at in depth; so this article examines the motivation behind this series, as well as the progress of the volumes that appeared in these years. Volumes promised for additional counties were either never completed or lacked the funding for publication. Summary biographies are given here for those who were involved as compiler or editor of the volumes, both those that did appear and those that were only promised.
