The North Staffordshire Field Club was an organisation founded in 1865 to study the natural history, geology, industrial history, folklore and local history of North Staffordshire, England. Its president from 1865-70 was industrialist and banker James Bateman FRS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Darwin Correspondence )〕 Other notable members included: *William Henry Goss *Elizabeth Wright Montford J.P. ==Publications== The organisation produced its first printed book, ''Annual addresses, papers, etc. Author, North Staffordshire Field Club'', in 1875, having previously published a short Annual Report for members. A history of the early years was published by R. Simms in 1886 as ''Coming of age of the North Staffordshire Naturalists' Field Club and Archaeological Society, 1865-1885: chronological history and bibliography of the Society''. A further extensive history, including that of the various specialist sections, can be found in the Club's special 1916 Jubilee year publication. The annual transactions were then titled ''North Staffordshire Field Club, Transactions and Annual Report'' (to 1960); then became the ''North Staffordshire Journal of Field Studies'' (1961 to 1985) when the title ceased. A detailed scientific survey of ''The Birds of Staffordshire'' was issued as appendices 1-9 to the ''Transactions and Annual report of the North Staffordshire Field Club'' (Vol. 64 in 1930, to Vol. 72 in 1938) and is now held in the library of Cambridge University. The records and publications of the Club are held at the Staffordshire Record Office and other libraries. An index to the 1961 to 1985 run of the ''Journal of Field Studies'' was published in the first issue of ''Staffordshire Studies'' journal. The Club's ''Journal'' was extant until at least 2000. The Club is still constituted, and anyone wishing to revive or reprint the publications can contact the North Staffordshire Field Club Hon. Secretary, c/o School of Sciences, University of Staffordshire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Staffordshire Field Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
