Society of Indexers

About the Society

The UK Society of Indexers was established in 1957 to:

enhance awareness and recognition of professionally produced indexes and the role of indexers in the analysis, organization and accessibility of information
promote improved standards and techniques in all forms of indexing
provide training in indexing and encourage the professional development of indexers
publish and disseminate guidance, information and ideas concerning indexing
Promote among indexers, authors, publishers and other interested persons and organizations relationships conducive to the advancement of good indexing.

To find an indexer for your project, consult our directory of professionally qualified indexers, arranged by subject specialism and searchable by skills and publication type.

Visit the SI website for more information about the Society, including training and professional qualifications, workshops for indexers and editors, indexing as a career, annual conferences, advice on commissioning indexes, and a variety of other useful resources.

Regular blog posts deal with topical issues and help to answer some of the questions that indexers are often asked.
