The history of agricultural societies in Cardiganshire goes back to 1784, when the Cardiganshire Agricultural Society was founded by Thomas Johnes of Hafod. There was a Northern Division, of which Capt. Pryse was vice-president in 1856, and two shows for the north of the county were established at Aberystwyth. As early as 1858, the Society had proposed the establishment of a royal agricultural society in Wales. Eventually the Welsh National Agricultural Society was founded in 1904; Sir Lewes Thomas Loveden Pryse of Gogerddan was its first secretary and general manager. The annual show was held in Aberystwyth, then at Llanelli in 1910. Subequently it was held at various venues until 1963, when a permanent location was found for the Royal Welsh Show at Builth Wells. The North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society was founded in 1874 and the first show was held at Aberystwyth. Support for the shows declined towards the end of the nineteenth century. However, the success of of trotting matches at Tal-y-bont encouraged Sir Pryse Pryse and his son, Pryse Pryse Pryse, to instigate the North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society and Tal-y-bont Show in 1896. From 1861, the Gogerddan estate had also held its own farm and horticultural competitions,which ended c. 1904.

Several of the reports and schedules are marked with manuscript amendments or annotations in the margins.
