The Southern Conference on British Studies was organized around 1966 to promote the interest and activity of scholars resident in the southern United States in British history and culture. A regional association, the Conference functions in conjunction with other learned societies, particularly the North American Conference on British Studies and the Southern Historical Association.

Organizational files of the Southern Conference on British Studies contain yearly files, the earliest of which contain materials relating to organizing the Southern Conference on British Studies. Later files contain correspondence about programs, meetings, and organizational matters; financial statements; copies of "British Studies Mercury," the Conference's newsletter; and other materials relating to the Conference's mission of promoting the study of British history and culture among historians in the American South.
