A Basic History of Ryde 1792-1966 was published in 1966 following a request for a booklet suitable for distribution in schools. A revised edition, A Basic History of Ryde 1792-1976 was published in 1976. The current edition, A Basic History of Ryde 1792-1980 was published in 1981.

We would like to hear from a volunteer willing to update this 42 page book to include significant events in Ryde over the last 27 years.

This book is currently out of print, but it can be read in our library.
