Assembled from the podiums and reading rooms of a landmark scholarly gathering, Papers: 1980 Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry April 4–7 presents a rich compendium of academic contributions delivered at one of the most significant convocations of genealogical and heraldic study of its era. Edited by Alison Dolling and compiled by Beverley Bull, the volume chronicles the intellectual discourse of specialists who gathered to advance the methodologies, histories, and practices of tracing family lineages and decoding the symbolic language of coats of arms, crests, and ancestral insignia. The collection stands as a vital historical document, capturing the state of genealogical and heraldic scholarship at the dawn of the 1980s — a period of growing public interest in family history research and the professionalisation of archival practice. Each paper offers a window into the debates, discoveries, and disciplinary frameworks that shaped the field, making this an indispensable reference for researchers, archivists, and serious enthusiasts alike. Who were the families behind the shields, and what stories have yet to be fully uncovered?
