Société Académique de Cherbourg =
Academic Society of Cherbourg
Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1755
According to a chronology of scholarly societies at Gallica, this Society was founded in 1755 and reconstituted (evidently after the 1793 suppression of scholarly societies in France) in 1807; the only name given attached to these two dates is Société Académique de Cherbourg.

The dates given above are consistent with the dates of a publication of this Society, which was labelled as Scudder, #1127a, namely Comptes-rendus annuels et sommaires des travaux , which was alleged by Scudder to have been published from the years 1755 - 1793; 1807 - 1833. Unfortunately, we have been unable to confirm the existence of such a publication in the most obvious sources: the Bibliot. Nat. France cat. or the much broader Catalogue Collectif de France.

It is difficult to assess the validity of this entry in Scudder (entry #1127a), which occurs under the header "Cherbourg. -- Société (nat. roy. imp.) académique.". We have been unable to locate any trace of it in either the Bibliot. Nat. France cat. or the much broader Catalogue Collectif de France. Perhaps these items were merely reports submitted to some governmental body (or, perhaps, to the Académie des Sciences in Paris), rather than documents printed in sufficient quantities and with a sufficiently wide distribution to justify the term publication.
