Actually, despite the misquotation on the web page, what the ARticles of
Incorporation (that is, what we tell the US government we do) say is:
"Research and education in the field of pre-17th-Century Western Culture"

The By-laws also say:
"The Society shall be dedicated primarily to the promotion of research and
re-creation in the field of pre-17th-century Western culture, as stated in
greater detail in
Article II of the Society's Articles of Incorporation."

Somebody is getting a bit interpretative, I think, in the web
descriptions.
