> Welcome to the Anglo-Catalan Society website where we hope you will find a
> wealth of information about our organisation and learn more about our efforts
> to promote different aspects of Catalan language and culture in Britain and
> Ireland.

The Anglo-Catalan Society (ACS) exists to promote awareness and appreciation of
Catalan culture in Britain and Ireland and to encourage cultural relations with
the Catalan-speaking communities. Membership is open to all persons who share
the fundamental objectives of our Society. While the Society serves as a
professional forum for those involved in teaching and research in Catalan
studies, equal importance is attached to the role of bringing together Catalans
from all over the Catalan-speaking territories and people with an interest in
Catalan language, history, culture and society.

Homage to Catalonia, by Douglas G. Mckechnie. Kindly donated by the author.

The main focus of our activities is the annual conference which has been held
without interruption since the Society’s foundation.  These meetings are
generally co-organised with university academics and take place on university
campuses around Britain and Ireland. We have also held particularly memorable
conferences in Barcelona, Eton College and the Institute of Germanic and Romance
Studies in London. The programmes cover a wide diversity of topics (linguistic,
historical, literary, sociological, musical, etc.) relating to all areas where
Catalan is spoken, including Valencia, the Balearic Islands and French
Catalonia. Members of the Society are encouraged to present their own research
and ideas at the conferences and we also regularly welcome distinguished
speakers. Since 1999, these have included the annual Joan Gili Memorial lecture,
in honour of one of our founder members and honorary life president until his
death in May 1998. We also celebrate the life and work of another inspirational
ACS member in the more ludic “RIMAT” (Readings in Memory of Arthur Terry). An
Annual General Meeting is held at every conference, generally on the Saturday,
and these are always characterized by a friendly and convivial atmosphere.

New members are especially welcome!
