The Hagiography Society was founded in 1990 and is the largest Anglo-American network for all historical research on saints and sanctity. The society aims to establish worldwide networking and communication. Its main focus lies on the medieval era, but does also welcome researchers from all eras and disciplines. Additionally, the websites provides information about the society’s own award, the “The Hagiography Society Book Prize” which they have been awarding annually since 2017; their own book series called “Sanctity in Global Perspective” and plans for the major medieval conferences in the United States and Great Britain (Kalamazoo, Leeds). The website has a useful online bibliography (currently unavailable) and a small selection of links (not annotated). The website also has a members only area, which includes a newsletter, additional accesses and other perks.
