The Burgon Society will be the guests of Yale University in New Haven, CT for its third North American Conference to be held at the Greenberg Center, a state-of-the-art venue in the heart of Yale’s historic campus. Established in 1701, Yale has an extensive history of academic dress that will be thoroughly explored throughout the day, with varied presentations and a visit to the University archives or Art Gallery. There will also be the opportunity to honour recent FBS fellows who have not been able to join us at previous events in the UK.
