The vows in the Syon Abbey archive are a great way to discover nuns who were sisters in religion AND biological sisters! One example is the Waldegrave sisters, who entered Syon Abbey in Lisbon between 1681 and 1694.

Tonight we're celebrating the 340th anniversary of the birth of the dominican nun, writer and reformer Juliana Morell (1594-1653) with Georgina Rabassó, PhD at Universitat de Barcelona with a paper 'Literary Eternity: Nun Authors and Female Conventual Writing in the Early Modern Period'
Thanks to Dr. Kathleen Sprows Cummings for a great paper on female religious and 'questing' today. Lots of good research questions raised, not least the importance of exploring vocations from a non-statistical perspective.
Thanks to all who participated in a great post-paper discussion!
Our session next month will take place on Wednesday 3 April. Dr. Kathleen Sprows Cummings will speak to us on 'Questing: Vocation, Migration, and the Study of Catholic Sisters'.
