Completing the Family Picture

This chapter is entitled ‘Completing the Family Picture’ for two reasons. First, in a rather literal sense, it does indeed contain pictures. These are photographs from selected points in history, to allow readers to see what various actors looked like. Second, the chapter contains summary facts on the member societies for which it was not possible to include full chapters in the book. This arrangement ensures that these societies are visible, even in the contents pages of the book. The editors hope that members of these societies will be inspired to write more complete histories of their societies at some point in the near future.
