The Journal
A magazine of genealogy and local history
The Journal contains original articles and historic information about Bucks County, with an emphasis on genealogy and local history. From 1998 through 2009, The Journal was published by the Bucks County Genealogical Society as a twenty-eight page, saddle-stapled booklet. When the BCGS was dissolved in 2013, it donated its research library and the rights to its publications to the Richland Library Company. The Richland Library Company now issues The Journal: A Magazine of Genealogy and Local History in May and November as a forty-to-fifty page perfect-bound digest.
