The 1805 Club publishes original research and reprints rare documents and keepsakes.

Regular publications consist of our news magazines The 1805 Dispatches published every two months and sent to members via email, The Kedge Anchor published and posted to members twice a year, as well as the Trafalgar Chronicle Yearbook, which includes full-length articles by members and other notable historians.

Peter Hore, who was editor of the Trafalgar Chronicle 2014-19, has for many years maintained a register of men and women whose ancestors fought at the Battle of Trafalgar.  A link to this register is available for you to view.
