The Society of @Indexers would also like to thank our outgoing Honorary President, Sam Leith @questingvole. Sam has been a vital part of our activities for ten years, helping to spread the word on the importance of good book indexes and indexers. We wish him all the very best.

Back to share a good news announcement from @indexers this afternoon, then I’ll be out of here properly. I am much happier elsewhere now so that’s where I will be.

Last night I went to a lecture on the impact of the Hampton Court Conference of 1604. The lecturer brought along several contemporary documents including the Basilikon Doron of 1603. The original owner provided a brief index which may interest @indexers

For the first in a series of blog posts, we've asked some experienced Society of Indexers Professional Members to share their thoughts, tips and wisdom with us. Today, they answer the most irritating question for any indexer: can't a computer do that?

Strong index game here in @dgquarterly’s new ‘Misc.’ book – and @djbduncan should know about these things (as should I).
4 Oct 2024
Congratulations to @delayedgratification on “Misc”! I’ve hoovered up this kind of book since I was a kid: the Fact-a-Minute book, the Book of Lists, @benschott obvs, @HenryEliot’s “Bookish Lists”... Also includes a lovely example of the index that makes you want to know more.

Another book that I enjoyed copy-editing for @calonbooks @UniWalesPress and out now – Where The Folk: A Welsh Folklore Road Trip by Russ Williams @welshindie. Charming, funny, and an inspiration to explore much more of beautiful Wales/Cymru. 🏴
25 Sep 2024
Where the folk can I hear the scream of the banshee?
The figure of the banshee is more commonly associated with Ireland, but where in Wales can you find a similar screaming sight...?
Discover more in 'Where the Folk: A Welsh Folklore Road Trip' by Russ Williams (@welshindie)
