 The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies was founded in Canterbury in 1961 to promote the study of the history and structure of the family and of subjects generally auxiliary to historical application. Aided by its commercial supporting company Achievements Ltd, the Institute provides education in family history at a variety of levels for beginners to advanced students. The Institute also runs a bookshop stocking a very comprehensive range of titles of interest to family historians, including those produced and published by the Institute and its founder Cecil R. Humphery-Smith. Please click here for more information on Institute publications.
