For the period 1716 to 1877 ''Battery Records of the Royal Artillery'' compiled by MES Laws (two volumes: Volume 1, 1716-1859 and Volume 2, 1859-1877, published in 1952 and 1970), is a comprehensive guide to battery stations that also helps navigate the frequent renumberings that took place. It is available to consult at the [[British Library]], the RA's Firepower Museum and on the open access library shelves at [[The National Archives]]. A third volume covering the period following 1877 is unpublished, but held by Firepower. '''Note''': Firepower Museum has now closed, and there is no current access to its collection.
Note that sometime in the period December 1888 to August 1889 , probably 1 July 1889, the names of the Batteries in the Royal Field Artillery Brigades changed from an alphabetical to a numerical name.
