This website and associated services were founded and managed by
Dr Bruce Durie,
recognised internationally as one of the leading practitioners in the field,
particularly for his teaching,
writing and
broadcasting.
He started and directed
(until September 2011) the much-acclaimed Genealogical, Heraldic and
Palaeographic Studies Programme (leading to Postgraduate Certificate,
Postgraduate Diploma and the Masters degree) at the University of
Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland.
Now
he teaches regularly
for the University of Edinburgh,
the University of Dundee and occasionally elsewhere.
He has authored over 25
books on family and local history, which include the best-selling
Scottish Genealogy (History Press, 3rd
ed., 2011) as well as volumes on Victorian crime fiction and the internet.
He is now preparing other publications for 2012, including Documents for Genealogy and Local History - Palaeography, Law and
Language and
Welsh Genealogy,
(both for The
History Press).
