The North American Sundial Society is an association of people from a wide variety of disciplines who are interested in the study, development, history, and preservation of sundials.

NASS formed over 15 years ago to bring together sundial enthusiasts from North American and around the world. Becoming a NASS member means that you have opportunities to learn about the history, design and constructions of sundials and meet a unique group of dialists at our annual meeting.  NASS publishes the The Compendium, a quarterly journal that keeps you informed about sundials, their features, histories and their mathematics.  The Compendium is published in both print and digital formats.  The content is essentially the same, but the digital version occassionally includes software and features of interest to computer users.

In addition to The Compendium, NASS offers dialing resources such as The Repository of all back issues of The Compendium, additional dialing articles, software, and reprints of a number of historical books about sundials and gnomonics.
