Royal Society

The Society of Antiquaries was founded in 1707 for men with an interest in antiquarian pursuits. Originally based in taverns on Fleet Street, the Strand and Chancery Lane, the Society moved to Somerset House in 1781 and Burlington House in 1875.

The Royal Society was founded in 1648 to promote the natural sciences, mathematics, engineering and medicine. The Society was based at Gresham College, then Somerset House from 1780, Burlington House from 1857 and Carlton House Terrace from 1967.

The documents were part of the Greater London Record Office Map and Print Collection. It was, however, decided that it was more appropriate to treat them as part of the archival holdings of the office. Their provenance is not certain, but they probably formed part of the Gardner Collection which was broken up and sold at auction in 1923.

Circular relating to the election of a new President of the Royal Society, 1820; letters and notices of the Society of Antiquaries, 1837-1862.
