Bristol Naturalists' Society
The Bristol Naturalists' Society is an organisation whose objectives include the promotion of the study of natural history, particularly that of the Bristol area, and the conservation of the fauna, flora, and geological sites of Britain. It was founded in 1862 and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2012.
==Early history==
The Bristol Naturalists' Society was established on 8 May 1862.〔〔 The purpose of the organisation was to promote natural science through a schedule of regular meetings during which scientific subjects were addressed and associated items were exhibited. Other goals included the amassing of a library of books connected to natural science, as well as the publication of the ''Proceedings'' of the society. Monthly meetings of the general membership were held from October to May at University College, Bristol, the predecessor to the University of Bristol.〔 The society maintained close ties to the University of Bristol and the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery throughout its history. During the society's general meetings, lectures were given, usually by club members. At least one excursion was undertaken each summer. In addition to general membership, club members could opt to join one or more of the specialised sections of the association: Botanical, Entomological, and Geological. The sections held meetings as well.〔 Sections in Chemistry and Ornithology were added later in the nineteenth century.〔 The Library of the Bristol Naturalists' Society was in its rooms at the Literary and Philosophic Club at 20 Berkeley Square, now the University and Literary Club (Unilit).〔 In addition to books and periodicals, the library contained other valuable works. The ''Proceedings of the Bristol Naturalists' Society'' were published annually.〔
Previous presidents of the Bristol Naturalists' Society have included many notable members of the Bristol community. The first president of the organisation was the geologist William Sanders (1799–1875). He held the office of president from 1862 to 1875.〔 Professor Conwy Lloyd Morgan (1852–1936) of University College, Bristol, later the University of Bristol, was another eminent member of the community who served as president of the society. Morgan was also elected to the presidency of the Clifton Antiquarian Club.〔 The first female president of the Bristol Naturalists' Society was Ida Roper, who was elected to that office in 1913.〔 Roper was also a member of the Clifton Antiquarian Club, contributing papers to the sixth and seventh volumes of the ''Proceedings of the Clifton Antiquarian Club''. Other notable members of the Bristol Naturalists' Society included three Fellows of the Entomological Society of London: Alfred Edmund Hudd, who was first appointed to the Council of the society in 1875,〔〔〔 Stephen Barton (d. 1898),〔 and George C. Griffiths (1852–1924).
