Medieval Chronicle Society
The Medieval Chronicle Society is an international and interdisciplinary organization founded to facilitate the work of scholars interested in medieval annals and chronicles, or more generally medieval historiography.〔Albrecht Classen, ''Handbook of Medieval Studies'', 2010, p.1719.〕〔For press reports on the Society see for example ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagzeitung'', 22 May 2011, p.63.〕 It was founded in 1999 and in February 2011 had 380 members.
==Aims and history==
Annals and chronicles were the main genres of historical writing in the Middle Ages. Consequently they have always been of great importance to historians. The extent to which they are also of interest to students of medieval literature or of historical linguistics was only fully realised in the latter part of the 20th century. Since many chronicles are illustrated, they are also a fruitful object of study for art historians. It was the desire for a forum in which these disciplines could operate together that led to the foundation of the society.
The history of the society began with a series of triennial conferences initially in Utrecht, but later moving from place to place. These early conferences were hosted by Erik Kooper (English studies, Utrecht). It was at the second of these conferences, in 1999, that the society was formally founded.
The society maintains a website financed by the University of Liverpool, and publishes a regular newsletter with information on recent publications in the chronicles field.
