I'm researching the history of an English rural district council
(1894-1974) and have been trying to find the records of the former Rural
District Councils Association which was formed in London c. 1902 and
disbanded c. 1975. I'm told by its successor, the Local Government
Association, that the library and archives of the RDCs Association were
sent to the Institute of Local Government Studies (INLOGOV) at Birmingham
University but Professor Raine has been unable to locate these papers.
1. Does anyone on the list have any knowledge of where the RDCs
Association's books and archives are?
2. Is anyone else working on RDC history?
3. Does anyone know of any published history of a rural district council?
