The British Society for the Turin Shroud was founded in 1976 to act as a forum for individuals from all walks of life sharing an interest in the mystery of the Shroud. The Society is non-denominational, has no party line for or against the Shroud's authenticity, and its officers all work on an entirely voluntary basis.
The BSTS issued its first newsletter in 1982 under the editorship of Ian Wilson, a prolific author of historical and religious books and one of the world's foremost Shroud researchers. The newsletter has been in continuous production ever since and publishes two new editions each year. Copies of every issue of the newsletter are archived after 12 months and stored on Shroud.com where they can be viewed. We are grateful to our good friend Barrie Schwortz, founder and editor of Shroud.com, and all those who contributed to making digital versions of all the earlier issues.
The encouragement of, and support for, research into the Shroud of Turin in all aspects.
The dissemination of, and support for, research into the Shroud of Turin in the form of written matter, photographs, exhibition materials and other means as may assist in spreading reliable knowledge of the Shroud.
In pursuit of these aims, the Society shall be entirely non-denominational and non-aligned.
