How Does It Work?

A monthly club for history lovers and collectors. Each month, you’ll receive a letter featuring three fascinating stories from a different county, plus photographs, collectible cards and other historical treasures.

A passion for history, turned into something you can collect.

"The Chronicle Society is something my wife and I have created from our shared passion for history. We’ve always loved discovering the stories, people and places hidden within Britain’s past, and we wanted to turn that passion into something we could share with others. Each month, we research, write and put together the Chronicle ourselves, with the aim of creating something that feels personal, interesting and worth collecting."
