The Manx Methodist Historical Society, founded 1971, issues a newsletter approximately twice per year, though publication dates are rather erratic. These newsletters started in Oct 1984.
An A5 sized publication, originally just 4 sides, but in later
issues extended to 12 pages.
Typical contents include a brief editorial (not generally indexed), a
report of a Lecture or a Visit, and in later issues articles on
specific topics.
Note: in many issues the pages are not numbered - I have numbered
these from the cover as page 1 as in earlier years this also
contained editorial matter. Issues 19 through 22 have numbered pages
(resurrecting the older tradition) but unfortunately no. 23 reverted
back to unnumbered pages and again I have counted the cover as page
1.
The form 22:5-6 refers to Newsletter 22 pages 5 to 6. Some articles,
indicated MWMCR, are reprints from Manx Wesleyan Methodist Church
Record (after 1932 Review), a monthly journal issued from Jan
1893.
The abbreviation, PM, is used for Primitive Methodist, where
appropriate.
