A Special Day in the History of the Guild of One-Name Studies

Posted 13 May 2018 by Julie Goucher

Today marks a very special day in the history of the Guild; this comes courtesy of the Rayment Society

Saturday 13th May 1978
The first one-name conference opened at the Grand Hotel in Leicester, England, where a formal resolution was carried unanimously to establish a Guild of individuals engaged in one-name research”

Were you there at that meeting?

Please share your memories and comments as we would be delighted to hear from you as we head into our 40th year.

Our 40th Conference will be held in Leicester 29-31 March 2019.
