Making Connections
Whilst browsing through Julie Goucher’s informative personal webpages at Anglers Rest, I stumbled on a presentation given by Mel Caldicott to the Guild of One Name Studies about her experiences in the first six months of research following the Pharos course – Introduction to One Name Studies. The presentation itself is excellent, as is the website she has established which adopts a very friendly people-centered approach to the subject. The blog is littered with stories about individuals as well as the trees and statistics that you always find. I really like it and have changed my WordPress theme to reflect this philosophy. I’m going to have a look at the overall design and see if there are other parts of it I might borrow.
I’ve also joined her Caldicott Facebook group which is predominantly for people with an interest in her surname, but also encourages researchers examining variants such as Collacott to be members.
