*The Society*
ISHLL is a society of scholars working on the history of the dictionary,
the making of historical dictionaries, and historical lexicology. ISHLL was
established as a result of the first International Conference on Historical
Lexicography and Lexicology, which took place in Leicester in 2002.
Subsequent conferences have been held at Gargnano del Garda, Italy
(2004), Leiden, The Netherlands (2006), Edmonton, Canada (2008), Oxford, UK
(2010), Jena, Germany (2012), Gran Canaria, Spain (2014), Bloomington
Indiana, USA (2016), Santa Margherita Ligure,
Italy (2018), and Leeuwarden-Ljouwert, The Netherlands (2019).
Conference attendants are kindly invited to become members of the Society.
There is no membership fee. One becomes a member by signing up on the ISHLL
