In anticipation of the 2020 commemoration of the Mayflower’s voyage, New England Historic Genealogical Society launched the Mayflower 2020 website in November 2017. This interactive website provides extensive resources for researching Mayflower passengers, connecting with Mayflower descendants, and learning the latest Mayflower 2020 news. The site also features the world’s first online gallery of Pilgrim descendants—documenting the ever-increasing diaspora of an estimated 35 million living descendants of the original Mayflower passengers around the world. Mayflower 2020 was featured on the BBC, NPR, the Boston Globe, and the Los Angeles Times.
In August 2018, Director of the Great Migration Study Project Robert Charles Anderson led a Heritage Tour to Scrooby Manor and environs where participants followed the paths of William Bradford, William Brewster, and others in the important years leading up to the decision to leave England.
