Anglo-Albanian Association
The Anglo-Albanian Association is an association established in 1913 by Aubrey Herbert under the name Albanian Committee.[1] In 1918 this committee evolved into Anglo-Albanian Society and then into the Anglo-Albanian Association.[2]
Objectives
[edit]The Anglo-Albanian Committee was originally founded to support the Albanian cause in Great Britain and to promote recognition of the Independent Albania.[3] The current Association holds regular events on Albanian history, culture and music. It also disseminates information on a range of Albania-related events and developments and produces an e-newsletter, the Anglo-Albanian Gazette.[4]
Members
[edit]Some of the members were Edith Durham, Lord Lamington and Dervish Duma.[5]
After 1985 the Chairman of the Anglo-Albanian Association was Harry Hodgkinson, British writer, journalist, and naval intelligence officer.[6] Its current president is Noel Malcolm[7] and Vice President James Hickson, great-nephew of Edith Durham.[8]
