The Eastern Counties Magazine 1900-1902 CD-ROM. The Eastern Counties Magazine was edited by the Hon. Mary Henniker and was a quarterly publication. According to an introductory letter by the editor, it was intended to include "contributions on Literature, Science, Art, Archaeology, Biography, Topography, Agriculture, Manufactures, Shooting, Hunting, Fishing, Yachting, Boating, Golfing, Cycling etc., and also on Society and Social Topics." To the modern reader, it is a useful source of East Anglian historical and genealogical information.
