Sad news to share. Richard King, Professor Emeritus at Nottingham, died on 18 April. Richard was Chair of BAAS from 1992-1995, and was one of our first BAAS Honorary Fellows (2009). We pass on our deepest condolences to Richard’s family and colleagues. http://histsociety.blogspot.com/2012/04/richard-h-king-on-why-i-became.html
