Readers may find the following note prepared by Katherine Barker useful for specifically Dorset material

Volumes of the Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society [DNHAS] are indexed from 1876-1988; thereafter individual volumes; many papers on a wide variety of coastal topics each containing original research. Longer papers will be found in the DNHAS Monograph series: useful for the coast is Vol. 5 by Jarvis K, Excavations in Christchurch 1969-1980. Vol. 6 is Sunter, M. and Woodward, P., Romano-British Industries in Purbeck. Shorter topics are in the volumes of Dorset Notes and Queries. For transcription and translation of lengthier Dorset archive material see the Dorset Record Society volumes, for example the Dorset Lay Subsidy [tax levied on land and goods by the Crown], 1327 (ed. Rumble) and of 1332 (ed. Mills).

There is a series of PRO [Public Record Office] Reader's Guides, some of which will be useful. PRO Reader Guide No 6 is by Mary Ellis, Using Manorial Records (1994). Guide No 9 is William Foot, Maps for Farming History, a guide to the records of the Tithe Valuations Office and National Farms Surveys of England and Wales, 1836-1943, (1994). Kelvin Smith, Guide No 20 is Records of Merchant Shipping and Seamen, 1998).
