As a member of this UK Society you can access the BULLETIN - published quarterly [4 monthly] - Our intention is to build, over time, a Society that extends beyond the printed page. As it grows, we envisage regular meetings and lectures, both in person and online; collaborative research projects; organised research trips to Rennes-le-Château and the wider Upper Aude; and, where possible, improved access to archival and library resources. Above all, we hope to foster a culture in which research is shared rather than hoarded, questions are welcomed rather than discouraged, and disagreement is understood as a necessary part of serious historical work. Rennes-le-Château still matters because it reminds us that history is not only what survives in documents, but how those documents are read, misread, and remembered. This Society, and its Bulletin is offered as a place to begin reading again — carefully, collectively, and without illusion.
