About Institute Of Heraldic And Genealogical Studies
We are the School of Family History.
Institute Of Heraldic And Genealogical Studies Description
The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies is an independent educational charitable trust established to provide full academic facilities for training and research in the study of the history and structure of the family. It was established in Northgate, Canterbury, in 1961 by Cecil Humphery-Smith.
Set in its own grounds in a charming property dating from the thirteenth century, the Institute arranges courses of instruction leading to qualifications in genealogy and other subjects auxiliary to history. There is a graded scheme of qualifications leading to the Licentiateship of the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies (LHG).
The Institute is famed for its Library, especially the Heraldic collection, and for its publications including the celebrated Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers
Our renowned Correspondence Course in Genealogy was established to train professional genealogists; most of our students, however, simply want to trace their own family histories as well as possible. The Correspondence Course is available world-wide by post, and has also been available on-line since 2004.

Wishing all of our friends, students and colleagues a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year. The picture is the attributed arms of the Magi (Caspar, Balthasar and Melchior) from the late 15th century Wernigeroder Wappenbuch
"an invention of the scarlet whore of Babylon, a hodge-podge of superstition, popery, the devil, and all his works."
Happy St Andrew's Day to all of our students, colleagues and friends north of the border.
