The Heritage and Archives Network (HAN) has been a while in the making. Spurred on by the support of our VC, Prof. Mary Stuart, we had a great get-together in 2018 to discuss the launch of a network that would not only put us more closely in touch with each other on campus – every one of the four Colleges of the University was represented – but also extend our contact with partners in the wider heritage sector.
Heritage Dot is a perfect occasion to take the next step: its theme of ‘joining the dots’ sums up our commitment to working together. The dots are not just little round shapes to be joined up in real time, they also reference digital networks and capacity, which is another theme we want to pursue.
Ways you can join in:
- Follow us on Twitter – @HANUoL2019
- Send us news of any upcoming events for the Events page (and check it for things you may be interested in)
- If you have a project to publicise, do a blog
- Join our mailing list – send your details to hhughes@lincoln.ac.uk
See you at Heritage Dot on 3/4 June!

I have been for my own reasons been studying Genealogy for a number of years now (began in 1957) and have because of D.N.A. arrived at point where I feel it is of considerable interest in that it crosses the lines of Archaeology/Genealogy/Politics not only of the Past but the present as well and I’m wondering HOW I can get some advice as to the course of action I should take. My Family background covers the Puritans who sailed in the Mayflower ( Cooke Fellow of Cambridge at he time of James VI) on the one hand right back to a connection to Robert the Bruce and his nephew Thomas Ranulf ( Randolph) on the other and ending up coupled together by My Great Great Grandfather one William Marshall and his wife? Ann Cook. The use of the Name RANDOLPH not coming back into the family until my Great Grandfather Randolph Marshall in 1852. These Days many are chasing their genealogical past and fromthe results I get when quietly checking out many whouse Scottish Sites I find Our Family Genes are Present in a vast trenche of the population not only there but allover the world I sincerely trust that whoever reads this will not regard it as some Crank and as i live only a bus Ride away in the Lincoln suburbs It would be no problem to Pop in to the University for a quick consultation if you feel it is worthy of your interest.
