Association of British Counties

The Association of British Counties exists to promote awareness of the 86 historic (or traditional) counties of Britain and their role in the history, geography and cultural life of the country.  The Association monitors and scrutinises the impact of government policies and legislation on the historic counties, especially local government reorganisation, and campaigns in favour of using the historic counties in postal addresses, guide books, boundary signs and maps.

The archives held cover the late 1960s through to the 1990s and are not yet catalogued.  They include correspondence and files relating to local campaigns, other pressure groups and related local or national organisations. [DAB]
