Sending Email to the Scholarly Societies Project

Because you have reached this page, you will be aware that the Original Edition of the Scholarly Societies Project collapsed in 2011 due to impossible maintenance demands.

The Editor and Curator, Jim Parrott, has revived the Project as Scholarly Societies Project - Edition 2 with a couple of constraints designed to make for a more manageable maintenance load.

  1. Edition 2 is limited to scholarly societies founded prior to 1850 with an emphasis on the history of those societies, their contribution to the scholarly record and the abbreviations so often used to refer their their journals. In short, Edition two is not a simple directory - it is a research tool.
  2. In addition, website URLs for scholarly societies are no longer included; each of them has been replaced by specific HTML code that performs a Google search to find the latest URL for the society in question. This facility is identified by the following icon .

The Editor and Curator of the Scholarly Societies Project - Edition 2 is over eighty years of age, and has a very limited amount of time available for dealing with email messages. The information below is intended to help you determine what is likely to happen when you send a message to the email address for the Project.
