The Viola da Gamba Society produces several types of publications for both members and non-members. Brief descriptions of these are given below, and further details are available by clicking the above tabs.

Music for Viols (Music Editions)
Low-cost editions of a large variety of music for viol consort (3-part to 6-part), solo, and accompanied viols, are available. These Music Editions are sometimes referred to as 'supplementary' publications for obscure historical reasons ... in fact they are the Society's main music publications.

Thematic Index of Music for Viols
This is the result of several decades of research by members of the Society led by Gordon Dodd, with the aim of cataloguing all known music for the viol, in consort, ensemble and solo. Most English sources are now covered, but much work remains to be done on overseas sources.

Chelys
The Society has published an annual scholarly journal Chelys for many years, containing articles on a wide variety of topics to do with the viol and its music. The new web-based journal to replace Chelys (see just below) is also produced annually, and started in 2007.

The Viola da Gamba Society Journal
This on-line Journal replaces Chelys, the first issue appeared in 2007. It is published annually. The intention is to provide substantial articles on the viol and its music similar to those in Chelys and which may be too lengthy for the Society’s newsletter The Viol. We also include extensive reviews of major publications.

The VIOL - (newsletter) 
This quarterly publication, issued free to members, replaced the long-established newsletter in 2006. It provides news about forthcoming events, listings of new CDs and publications, reports of meetings, reviews, information about viol activities around the world, and a range of other material, including some more substantial articles about viols, their music and its composers and performers.

Miscellaneous
This section is reserved for miscellaneous publications by members of the Society which we wanted to include on the site.
It is expected that we make more documents available in future.
