STATEMENT OF COUNCIL’S RESPONSIBILITIES .................................................31 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT…………………….……………………………32 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES The Society of Antiquaries of London is charged by its Royal Charter of 1751 with ‘the encouragement, advancement and furtherance of the study and knowledge of the antiquities and history of this and other countries’. The Society is an educational charity that promotes understanding of the human past and recognises distinction in this field through election to its Fellowship.The Society is composed of an elected college of more than 3,000 Fellows, drawn from scholars and practitioners working in the fields of archaeology, architectural and art history, museum studies, conservation and cultural resource management, together with ecclesiastical, documentary, heraldic, musical and linguistic study – the common theme being the study of the material past. The Society’s strategy for meeting its charitable objectives (set out in its Strategic Plan 2015-20) is to use the assets of the Society (its buildings, Library and museum collections, and grant programme) to aid the Fellowship and others in conservation and research of the remains of the past, and to communicate the importance of conservation and research to the public. The Society’s strategy may thus be summarised as: conservation, research, dissemination. This Report is therefore structured accordingly. In order to achieve its objectives, the Society has prioritised the following activities: continue to engage with our landlord (the

  • What Information Do We Hold?
    ST GEORGE’S CHAPEL ARCHIVES & CHAPTER LIBRARY Research guides No.1 The Order of the Garter Foundation and composition The Most Noble Order of the Garter, the oldest surviving Order of Chivalry in the world, was founded by Edward III in or just before 1348. St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, became and remains the spiritual home of the Order and holds the annual Service of Thanksgiving on Garter Day which is attended by the Sovereign and Companions of the Order. The origins of the Order’s blue garter and motto, ‘Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense’ (Shame on Him Who Thinks Evil of It), are uncertain. The date of the foundation of the Order of the Garter is a subject of historiographical controversy, largely due to the absence of early records of the Order. The French chronicler Froissart, writing between 1370 and 1400 and drawing upon the account of the English ecclesiastic Adam of Murimuth, claimed that the foundation of the Order coincided with the feast held by Edward III at Windsor Castle in January or February of 1344. At this feast, according to Murimuth, Edward had declared an intention to establish a Round Table of three hundred knights ‘in the same manner and estate as the Lord Arthur, formerly King of England’. It is now widely believed that Froissart wrongly conflated the events of the feast held in 1344 with the actual foundation of the Order of the Garter, which occurred later in the 1340s and possibly coincided with the establishment of the College of St George, Windsor, in 1348.

  • BEATRICE EILEEN DE CARDI Beatrice Eileen De Cardi 1914–2016
    BEATRICE EILEEN DE CARDI Beatrice Eileen de Cardi 1914–2016 BEATRICE DE CARDI, WHO DIED on 5 July 2016 aged 102, achieved the remarkable feat of filling in many of the gaps in our knowledge of the archaeological record over a vast area which stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Khyber Pass. She was able to do this mainly by survey, and then went on to establish the relative chronology of some of the new wares she identified by means of judicious excavation. In addition, she traced some of the connections between her new sites and other better-known ones which provided absolute dates for the new material. She achieved all this without the benefit of permanent institutional backing and never held an academic post, although she was generally acknowledged to be a talented and professional archaeologist. Unusually, she had a second parallel life, until her official retirement, as an outstanding administrator. After retirement she devoted herself solely to archaeology. Beatrice was born, just before the outbreak of the First World War, on 5 June 1914, to a Corsican father and an American mother. She was the second of two daughters. She claimed that one of her earliest memories is of being in the cellar of their house in Ealing during an air raid with her mother dressed in what sounds like full evening dress. Apart from this the war had little impact on her. From an early age Beatrice wanted to be a ballet dancer and, although ill health prevented this, the training she received may well have been the reason for the upright posture and slightly imperious air which stayed with her all her life.1 1 The information on B de C’s life until she joined the Council for British Archaeology comes from an interview she gave to Dr P.-J.

  • ASH 3.F-Galles-Republic
    Heralds for the Republic: A Proposal for the Establishment of Heraldic Authorities in the United States of America1 DUANE L. C. M. GALLES∗ J.D. (Wm. Mitch.), J.C.L., J.C.D. (St Paul), Ph.D. (Ottawa), A.A.I.H., F.S.A. Scot. Attorney-at-Law, State of Minnesota And I took root in an honourable people. Sirach 24:12 The year 2009 marked the beginning of the third decade of existence of the Canadian Heraldic Authority.2 There is an old German proverb that Alle Anfangen sind schwer — all beginnings are difficult — and doubtless it was so with the Canadian Heraldic Authority, although to the external observer things seemed to have moved smoothly from the very start. This no doubt was in part due to its well thought-out form and location in the Honours Chancellery of the Governor General’s office, to the encouragement and help it received from the several Governors General and members of the government of the day, to the quality of the staff who from the start formed the Authority, and to the consistent support from the Canadian Heraldry Society and many sections of the Canadian public.3 At the same time, the success of this North American heraldic authority raises the question of whether a similar heraldic authority might not be created in her North American neighbour immediately to the south. In what follows, Section 1 briefly describes the heraldic past of the United States. The first subsection of that section is a rapid history of armigery in the lands now included in that country, and its second subsection recalls the use of heralds or pro-heralds in the same lands.

Lost and Found Prehistoric Pottery Treasures from Baluchistan The rich cultural heritage of Baluchistan is well- known for its craftsmanship and beauty. The sheer amount of objects on the art market is a sad message about the loss of this legacy. The outstanding collection of several hundred vessels confiscated by the Pakistani customs in the port of Karachi provides a glimpse into this amazing past and underlines the need to protect its treasures from being lost. The objects were documented and restored in the National Museum of Pakistan in Karachi by a Pakistani-German team, supported by funds from the Cultural Preservation Program of the German Federal Foreign Office. cover Pottery from Baluchistan, 4th and 3rd Millennium BCE Fotos Elisa Cortesi Layout Ina Beyer, Hans D.

  • The Use of Heraldry in Medieval Genealogy
    -462- HERALDRY IN MEDIEVAL GENEALOGY 1 THE USE OF HERALDRY IN ENGLISH MEDIEVAL GENEALOGY by Jeremy Goldsmith2 ABSTRACT Heraldry, the study of coats of arms, can be of assistance to the medieval genealogist. The major sources of seals, rolls of arms, and sepulchral monuments are here considered, with reference to their use in corroborating the genealogical evidence disclosed by conventional documents. Foundations (2010) 3 (5): 462-470 © Copyright FMG and the author In the Middle Ages literacy was a gradually emerging phenomenon and, in England at least, grew out of bureaucracy.3 Only over time were documents produced in large quantities with a high level of personal detail. Consequently, research in the field of medieval genealogy is particularly difficult; the situation is made worse by the wide dispersal and patchy survival of historical records, compared with the centralised record keeping of later periods. Heraldry is a tool that can be used to corroborate findings in the attempt to reconstruct medieval families. The use of coats of arms was at its height in this period, a very real and practical means of identification when levels of literacy were still relatively low. However, many historians do not have a clear understanding of how heraldry operated as a visual language, how it was administered, and what sources may be consulted to uncover such evidence. For the avoidance of doubt, this paper will address English heraldry; different systems operated in other parts of the British Isles and in Europe. The sources described will not be exhaustive, comprising the major types that may be encountered: seals, rolls of arms, and tombs.
