Scope and content
The Society has, and continues to, run its membership on a subscription basis, with members paying different subscription rates according to their types of membership. Historically, the first payment of subscription was due on election, and then annually on the first date of January of each year. This series contains the bound volumes of ledgers recording these subscription payments from members. There is only one ledger dating to the 19th century, covering the period from 1823 to 1838. The remaining volumes date from 1924 to the late 20th century, and the volume for 1977-1988 is wanting.
