11 sheaf volumes

GB 0117 BR 1663-1940 Collection (fonds) 11 sheaf volumes Bullock , William , 1868-1941

The Roll proper ceased in 1940. It was superceded by the 'Personal Records', and subsequently the Sackler Resource (electronic database of Fellows).

A biographical listing of the Fellows of the Royal Society 1663-1940 in the form of a sheaf catalogue compiled by William Bullock. Also includes other items, included from annotated copies of the 3rd and 4th editions of 'The Record of the Royal Society', from which the Roll derived its arrangement: lists of Medical Fellows, and Fellows who did not sign the Charter Book: and biogrphical accounts of the Auldjo family, with various rough notes by Bulloch. The Roll provides a chronological list of the Fellowship by date of election. It records the Fellow's name as it appeared in 'The Record' and in a corrected form, giving the date of election and positions held in the Society. The Roll also provides a short biography based on entries in standard printed works of reference, (such as 'The Dictionary of National Biography', Cockayne's 'Peerage' and 'Baronetage', 'The Gentleman's Magazine', 'Munks Roll of the Royal College of Physicians', Boase's 'Modern English Biography', and the volumes of 'Who's Who' and 'Who Was Who').

Chronologically by year, and alphabetically within each year.
