Toronto librarian Stephen Abram posted a Facebook item recently What is a Group of Librarians?
He blogged some of the responses here.
A gaggle of librarians
A collection of librarians
A catalogue of librarians
A catalog of librarians
A shush of librarians
A volume of librarians
A flap of librarians.
Shush is my favourite.
I wondered about a collective for genealogists, Googled it and found a recent Rootschat discussion. I especially liked the suggestion
An Ahnentafel of Genealogists.
My suggestion, with an eye to the Genealogical Proof Standard, is
A Coherency of Professional Genealogists
If you can do better please post your suggestions.
A collective term for genealogists? Here are some suggestions:
ReplyDeleteA kinship
A continuity
An affiliation
A forbearance
An obsession (my husband likes this one)
A great-great grand total of genealogists
A long line of genealogists
What do you call a single genealogist? Silverilocks and the Forebears
...and how about a stack of librarians?
ReplyDeleteI like the obsession of genelaogists.
ReplyDeleteA passion of genealogists.
An enthusiasm of genealogists.
A persistence of genealogists.
A wealth of genealogists. In terms of knowledge and family we are wealthy.
