Record Society Of Lancashire And Cheshire
The Record Society of Lancashire and Cheshire is a text publication society that publishes historical documents relating to the traditional counties of Lancashire and Cheshire. It became a registered charity (No. 500434) for public education in the history of the two counties in 1970.

Earwaker served as the society's founding Secretary (until his death in 1895) although, towards the end of his life, his other commitments led to delays in the society's planned publications. The bibliophile James Crossley, President of the Chetham Society, was the founding President, and another prominent early member (and later Vice-President) was William Ecroyd Farrer.
