Quarterly & Back Journals
Since 1978 the Society has published a quarterly Journal 'North West Kent Family History' (ISSN 2631-5947), which is available to all members in the MOA and is posted to any member choosing to have a paper copy. It generally contains some 40 to 50 pages of articles on family history in north west Kent and elsewhere, news items, and surnames , place and subject interests being researched by members. It won the FFHS Elizabeth Simpson award for the best family history society journal on a number of occasions.
The first two volumes (1978-82) were published at a size of 10" x 8", but this was altered to A5 format in 1983. At the same time the number of issues per volume was increased from eight (covering two years) to twelve (three years).
