Burke's Peerage

Burke's Peerage is the short informal title of a long-running reference work on noble families in Great Britain and elsewhere in the world. The full official title has varied somewhat over the years.

Publication History

The first edition of Burke's Peerage was published in 1826, titled "A General and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the United Kingdom" and edited by John Burke. New editions were sometimes issued annually, and sometimes less frequently. No issue or contribution copyright renewals were found for this serial. (More details) The most recent edition we know of, the 107th, was published in 2003.
