As well as a creating a bright new ‘look & feel’, our Webmaster, Anne Shankland, has massively increased the material now available to the public - on One-Name Studies in general and the Guild in particular.
In accordance with our declared charitable objective of ‘Educating the Public in One-Name Studies’ we have released a significant amount of material previously only available to Guild members. This complements our archive of over 100 Guild Journals which was made available to the public earlier this year.
The Guild website now has two search engines, one for finding “Names“ currently registered with the Guild, and a second to search the rest of the website, including the Archive of Guild Journals.
