>If you'd like to be included in the directory and aren't already on our
>mailing list [or have simply forgotten to send in your information form
>this year], please send a message before February 9 to Sherry Reames
>([log in to unmask]) that includes your name, preferred postal
>address, telephone number, FAX number if any, e-mail address, current
>projects that deal with saints or saint-related topics, and any recent
>publications in these areas (we define "recent" broadly, including about
>the past 10 years).
>
>If you'd like further information about the Society (purpose, size,
>publications, cost of membership, etc.), I'm appending a copy of our

>The Hagiography Society was founded in North America in 1990 to promote
>communication among scholars in various disciplines whose research involves
>the study of early Christian or medieval saints' legends. By December 1998
>our mailing list had grown to include more than 500 scholars, over 100 of them
>from Europe and the U.K. and most of the rest from the U.S. and Canada.
>
>Each year the Society publishes three issues of its newsletter, plus an annual
>directory of researchers in hagiography and related fields, which includes
>bibliographical information on recent publications and a list of works in
>progress as well as the researchers' phone numbers and addresses (both postal
>and e-mail). Besides issuing these publications, the Society holds an annual
>business meeting and organizes two or three paper sessions at the
>International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan, each May.
>On the other side of the Atlantic, we sponsored multiple sessions at the first
>two International Medieval Congresses at the University of Leeds, in 1994 and
>1995, and held a small international symposium of our own in England in July
>1998. We will participate actively again at Leeds in 1999 and hope to find
>additional ways of working cooperatively with our colleagues in Europe and the
>U.K. (including the other groups and societies of hagiographers that have
>been organized in Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and elsewhere).
>
>Dues for 1998 and 1999 will continue at the following rates:
>
>(a) for regular members in No. America: $10.00 US or $14.00 Canadian for one
>year, $25.00 US or $35.00 Cdn. for three years
>(b) for students in No. America: $5.00 US or $7.00 Cdn. per year
>(c) for regular members overseas: 7.50 pounds sterling (or the equivalent in
>the member's home currency) for one year, 20.00 pounds sterling or the
>equivalent for three years
>(d) for student members overseas: 4.00 pounds sterling or the equivalent per
>year.
>
>Please note that the overseas rates are designed to cover the extra costs of
>airmail postage abroad, and should therefore be paid by everyone whose mailing
>address is outside North America. Individuals overseas who find it most
>convenient to pay in US dollars may of course do so; just calculate the proper
>amount on the basis of (c) or (d) above.
>
>Methods of payment: We can now accept any of the following:
>cheques (on US banks) or money orders in US dollars;
> cheques in Canadian dollars, drawn on Canadian banks;
> cheques in pounds sterling, drawn on British banks;
> cheques in French francs, Italian lire, German marks, or any other
>widely traded national currency, so long as they are drawn on a bank
>located in the same country that issues the currency.
>
>All cheques or money orders should be made payable to "Hagiography Society"
>and sent to Sherry Reames [see address below].
>
>Copies of the 1997 directory (which gives the addresses and current projects
>of over 250 researchers in hagiography and related fields) are still available
>and will be sent to anyone who joins retroactively for 1997. The 1998 edition
>and the next one, due out in March 1999, will include only updates, additions,
>and corrections to the 1997 edition.
