In 1962 the Virginia Baptist Historical Society launched an annual scholarly journal entitled The Virginia Baptist Register. Its goal from the beginning was to present previously unpublished articles which primarily aimed at early periods of Baptist history in Virginia. There have been 48 issues published as of 2009 with a total running page count of 2,583 pages. Every five years the issues are thoroughly indexed in separately printed indexes. The indexes alone form a useful tool for researchers and can refer the researcher to a specific article of possible interest.
For further information on ordering a full set of back issues, please scroll down this page. For specific articles, click on the Register Articles to the left.

The current issue features the story behind the monuments and markers to Virginia Baptists who struggled to secure religious liberty. Included are the addresses delivered at the dedication of several of the monuments. Also included is an annotated journal from 1811-12 of a Virginia Baptist minister and his wife, William and Jane Hiter of Louisa County.
To submit articles for possible inclusion in future issues, send copy to:
Editor, VBR
