About Us, the Doreen Valiente Foundation's own account of its founding, published on the Foundation's own website, describes its establishment in 2011 by John Belham-Payne and its charitable purpose preserving Valiente's Wiccan legacy. Its strength is direct institutional authority for its own founding history. Its limit is that it is a self account, not independent scholarly history of Wiccan institutional development, and no publication year is given here because the page is a live, undated institutional web account maintained on an ongoing basis rather than a dated publication.
