Alumni

The Attingham Society

 

 

The Attingham Society is our alumni association. It encourages members to keep in touch with one another and continue the sense of international comradeship and common purpose which Attingham seeks to engender. Working in close co-operation with the American Friends of Attingham, both groups organise lectures, conferences and visits as well as publishing Annual Reviews, newsletters and e-bulletins with news of their events. Alumni Ambassadors in 20 countries maintain links with their compatriots who have attended the courses.

There is no membership subscription for The Attingham Society and anyone who has attended a course automatically becomes a member.

'There is nothing else like the Attingham summer school -- the subject matter is essential but hard to study elsewhere. It is taught directly from the objects and buildings themselves. The course leaders are outstanding in the field, and so are the students! I met scholars and curators who have become collaborators on later projects, and I made some long-term friends.'

The Attingham Society Scholarship Fund

Many Attingham alumni feel a strong commitment to give something back. One of the ways of doing this is to contribute to the Attingham Society scholarships, which are given every year to enable applicants who could not otherwise afford to attend a course to do so. Any amount, however small, can make a difference and help safeguard Attingham’s scholarship funding for the future.

Participation at Attingham Society events can also help to raise money.

An annual donation to the Trust is easy to set up by filling out the standing order form and returning it to: The Attingham Trust, 70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EJ. UK taxpayers are kindly asked to Gift Aid their donation and can choose to do so on the same form.

Individual donations can be made by paying directly into The Attingham Trust’s PayPal account HERE. This can be done with your credit card or via your own PayPal account if you have one. Everything raised goes directly into The Attingham Trust Scholarship Fund.
