1663-
Minutes of the meetings of Council from 1663, concerned with the business and administration of the Society. Entries record discussions of all matters relating to the Society's constitution, activities, awards, funds, bequests, buildings, and staff. The Council Minutes exist in three main forms. The Original Minutes (currently 75 volumes, from 1663) were copied in the manner of the Journal Books until 1822 (8 volumes, 1663-1822). From 1832 the Minutes were printed for distribution to Council Members, and bound sets retained by the Society. Printed agenda for Council meetings have been pasted into bound volumes and annotated since 1950 (currently 24 volumes, 1950-1975). Papers have been kept separately since 1945.
