Reeks RAS MEMB/2 - Membership Forms and Applications

4 boxes and 2 folders

Membership of the Society has always been open to anyone. Rules governing the types, application and election of members, however, have changed over time. Historically, anyone who was desirous of becoming a member must secure a proposal by current member(s). Members were further classified into Resident Members, those residing or having a place of business in Great Britain or Ireland (later changed to within the London Postal Area only), and Non-Resident Members. These members were also referred to as Ordinary Members in the early 20th century, to differentiate with other special types of membership.

This series contains the papers submitted by individuals for applying membership and lists of applicants prepared for the Council meetings, where new members are elected.
