The 'Gypsy Lore Society' is an international association interested in Gypsy and Traveler Studies. Founded in Great Britain in 1888, it has held its headquarters within the United States since 1989. The Society’s goals include promotion of the study of Roma, Traveler, and analogous peripatetic cultures worldwide; dissemination of accurate information aimed at increasing understanding of these cultures in their diverse forms; and establishment of closer contacts among scholars studying any aspects of these cultures.

The Society is one of the most important authorities on Roma studies, and publishes an international and interdisciplinary journal, Romani Studies, four times a year. The journal features articles and studies about Roma, Traveler and other peripatetic groups.

In addition, the 'Gypsy Lore Society' is interested in the promotion of Roma studies, and has created the The Victor Weybright Archives, a collection specialized in scholarly materials available for use by researchers.
