The Staffordshire History Journal.
Thus began a long study of the history of the places where they had lived and in particular the history of the various towns, villages and people of Staffordshire. Perhaps, like me, you will be fortunate and find that the wealth of original material county's record offices provide for historians of all kinds to use contains much information relevant to your interests. Of course, in the case of Staffordshire, there are also many record societies whose publications are useful to the keen researcher, whether amateur or professional, the Staffordshire Record Society and the Staffordshire Parish Register Society for example. To these can be added the publications of various universities but one journal deserves special attention, the Staffordshire History Journal.

Like
most family people researching their family history, I wanted to know
more than names and dates. I wanted know how and where my
ancestors and kinsman's ancestors lived and what life was like for
them. 
This
twice yearly journal is published by the Staffordshire Community Council
with the stated aim of "providing
local researchers with an outlet for the product of their
labours". Articles
on any aspect of the county's past are considered for publication,
together with shorter communications, requests for information and news
from local societies and all this for a very modest annual subscription.
