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 A third volume covering the period following 1877 is unpublished, but held by Firepower.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 March December 1888 to August 1889 the names of the Batteries in the Royal Field Artillery Brigades changed from an alphabetical to a numerical name.
