medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Not everyone can magic themselves an FSA - but anyone is welcome to join
the British Archaeological Association, and members of this fine body
have right of access to the first-rate (and otherwise rather exclusive)
reference library of the Society of Antiquaries in central London.

I thoroughly agree about the London Library. Also useful for the
independent scholar in and around London is the
Institute of Historical Research,
University of London
Senate House
Malet Street,
London WC1E 7HU
0207 636 0272.
You can belong to either the Institute or the Friends of the Institute
(a
bargain at £25 a year) and use the very good reference library. Also,
a
great boon to the isolated independent scholar is the series of
seminars
that are held in the Institute. Most of them start at around 5 p.m,
which,
while not ideal for people in employment, is better than mid-day
seminars.
The web site address is www.history.ac.uk. This contains details of
seminars
and the library.
Others may be able to say whether it is worth joining the Leeds
Medieval
Institute?
Regards,
Rosemary Hayes
