The recently-published fiftieth volume of Transactions contains articles on a wide range of archaeological and historical subjects from throughout the county: prehistoric gold objects; Anglo-Saxon buildings; a medieval friary; medieval grants of arms; a sixteenth-century inventory; and the 1918 General Election. It also includes summaries of recent archaeological work in Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton and Walsall (all historically part of Staffordshire), and two book reviews. In addition, there are two overviews of the whole series of Transactions.
