	International - about Nationwide Building Society
		A product of the great population migrations of the Industrial Revolution, building societies emerged in the 1770’s when workers formed societies to save for land and materials with which to build their own homes.
		By 1880 the number of building societies grew rapidly and many became permanent home loan and savings institutions, paying interest to savers and charging borrowers for money loaned.
		Today’s Nationwide Building Society is the product of over 100 mergers, the most notable being the merger between Nationwide and the Anglia Building Society in 1987.

	Victoria Mutual Building Society - where tradition embraces innovation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Prominent among the other local building societies (outside of Victoria Mutual) is Jamaica National Building Society, which has done well over the last 30 years, having emerged from the Westmoreland Building Society and merging later with a number of other smaller building societies.
		There was formerly a host of other local building societies, such as the St. Ann Benefit Building Society, Brown's Town Benefit Building Society, Northern Benefit Building Society and the St. Thomas Benefit Building Society, which generally all went the amalgamation route.
		These two are proprietary building societies, meaning that they are owned by specific interests, as distinct from the mutual building societies - the Victoria Mutual, Jamaica National, JSL - where the savers own the societies.

	Nationwide Building Society - Review - Someday soon
		In recent years, the best opportunities have come from mutual building societies and insurers; opening membership accounts for as little as £100 to qualify for windfalls from the inevitable process of conversion and takeover.
		One of the rebel members, Andrew Muir, is against the Nationwide's pledge to remain a building society and wants it to become a bank.
		I can't say that I think there's that much to choose between banks and building societies these days, so to my eyes this has always seemed a pretty irrelevant issue, but for some reason the Building Society machismo has become something to cherish and die for if needs be.

		Coventry Building Society already had a static site providing people with a basic overview of the society and what services it offered.
