História biográfica

Traditionally, if a Fellow is still a member of the Society when they die they received a formal, Society obituary which was published in one of the Society's serial publications. These obituaries have not been collated as they are easily retrievable in their published form. Instead this series consists of externally published obituaries or orders of service for Fellows and some members of staff which were mostly collected from the 1990s by Library staff. There is some material which is older, found loose among the backlog of other material and which has been added for ease of use.

It should be noted that the series will include ex members of the Society who resigned their Fellowship at some point before their death, but were kept for informational reasons.

For formal Society obituaries, the earliest can be found within the President's Anniversary Address given at the Annual General Meetings, and published in the 'Proceedings' of the Society [and later included in the 'Quarterly Journal']. From 1971 obituaries appeared in the Society's 'Yearbook', later Annual Report. From 2009, instead of annual lists, the obituaries appear regularly in 'The Geoscientist', the member's monthly magazine.
