About Study Profiles

Members’ Study Profiles

Every member with one or more registered names can create their own web page within the Guild’s one-name.org domain to promote each of his or her registered studies across the internet. This online profile service uses a standard template and a simple online form, and it requires no technical knowledge to complete. If you can use a word processor, such as Word, you can complete your profile page.

Profile pages are indexed by Google and other search engines, and are a good way to share the fact that you are undertaking a study. Long-time users report that a high percentage of their email traffic originates from their study’s profile pages. Your unique guild email address is included in your profile to enable people to contact you. See below.

Unique email address

A key benefit of membership is a free email alias which enables Guild members to create a long-term identity for their one-name study. The service allows members to give an official @one-name.org email address to their researchers knowing that return emails will be automatically redirected to their personal email address. This means that they can change their ISP and/or personal email address whenever they need without losing incoming emails or having to inform all their contacts.

If you are already a member, please login for more information on setting up your profile page.
