Links

Below you will find links to projects, institutes and government and university departments which have a special interest in the study of names. They are divided into (1) international and (2) national, ethnic or regional projects. For the latter, click on the second link below, and then on a country- or region-name or ethnic category on the page which appears. In some cases, these links do little more than alert users to the existence of an organization. Some are, or include, databases and datasets, and we have not yet done a finer categorization of these links. A section linking to the home-pages of onomastics journals has been started.

These links are provided for your convenience, but ICOS takes no responsibility for the content or the topicality of the sites you may access from here.

ICOS thanks those who have suggested links for inclusion here, and welcomes other suggestions; please send them to the Secretary. A random selection of the links was tested in November 2007, and those which did not work at the moment of testing are indicated. If visitors to this site find links which do not work, please inform the Secretary. Visitors will see that several sites appear to have been disabled, and new information would be welcomed by ICOS.

These links are to web-sites/pages of the journals and not necessarily to electronic issues of the journals themselves. In some cases, these are sub-pages of sites of organizations referred to elsewhere on these links pages. It's amazing how many journals have no web-presence at all!

Ainm, journal of the Ulster Place-Name Society

The Ehrensperger Report of the American Name Society (current)
