DIGITISING NAME STUDIES
A day conference of the
SOCIETY FOR NAME STUDIES IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND
will be held in the Seminar Library, Department of English Studies,
Trent Building, University of Nottingham,
on Saturday 18th November 2000,

English Place-Name Society and the Centre for English Name Studies
The speakers will include Dr David Parsons, Dr Paul Cullen and Professor Richard Coates on the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded database project of the English Place-Name Survey and Dr Simon Taylor on the Carnegie-funded Scottish Place-Name Database.
Lunch will be in Derby Hall, taken jointly with the annual meeting of the Teachers of Old English in Britain and Ireland. There will then be an opportunity to join TOEBI to hear Victor Watts on 'Old English and Place-Names' and Dr Judith Jesch on 'Viking Studies in an English Department', by kind permission of the organiser, Dr Paul Cavill.
The afternoon will continue in the English Seminar Library with discussions over tea. We also hope to include short individual contributions on other databases from those attending, if desired. (There will be a meeting of the SNSBI Committee after the conference ends.)
The cost will be £12.50 (£15.00 for non-members of SNSBI; £5.00 for students), to include refreshments and the buffet lunch.
