The Purpose of SBGAS
The Sabine Baring-Gould Appreciation Society was founded in 1989 by David Shacklock. The purpose of the Society has been to enable those interested in Sabine Baring-Gould and his work to share their enthusiasm, and to spread that enthusiasm among others. As explained on the previous page, it was decided to wind up the Society in 2018.
Several former members of the Society have been actively engaged in research projects related to Sabine Baring-Gould’s life and work, and have shared their work with members at the Annual Gatherings of the Society and through our publications. We will ensure that these publications remain available through this website as long as funds allow.
The SBGAS Newsletter was issued in February, June and October each year from 1989 until 2018, and sent to SBGAS members. As well as news about the Society, they contain short articles and scraps about Sabine Baring-Gould. A complete run of the newsletters can all be found on this website.
The Transactions of the Sabine Baring-Gould Appreciation Society were produced annually from 2001 to 2018 and contain transcripts of the talks given at the Annual Gathering, as well as occasional reprints of articles by Sabine Baring-Gould and other material of interest. Copies can be read on this website.
