    This thirteen-volume series, published for the Yorkshire Archaeological Society between 1914 and 1965, is an extensive collection of the pre-thirteenth-century deeds and charters of Yorkshire, which had previously remained largely unpublished. The first three volumes were expertly edited by William Farrer (1861–1924), after whose death Charles Travis Clay (1885–1978) took up the task. The series was well respected for the quality of Farrer's editing, which was only surpassed by that of Clay in the later volumes. The documents are amply annotated and accompanied by discussion of their content and points of interest. The volumes also contain facsimile plates of select documents, as well as detailed indexes. An entire volume is devoted to indexing the first three volumes. In sum, this series stands as an invaluable resource for the study of medieval British history.
