Invitation to contribute to a “biographical directory” of Founder and early members of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History

2006 will be the Society’s seventieth anniversary. An inaugural meeting took place on 14 March 1936, attended by 25 people; a few of these individuals did not become members of the SBNH. I am keen to ensure that a biographical record of each of these individuals is published, perhaps in an celebratory issue of Archives of natural history, and invite anyone who would be prepared to collaborate and to contribute a short biography (200–300 words) of any of the individuals listed, to contact me as soon as possible.

I would also welcome fuller information about the individuals listed. Even if you do not wish to contribute to the biographical directory, please let me know if you can elaborate the information in the checklist.

I am putting biographical information on to a database (at present in Access 2000) and can make this available to contributors; this includes details of published obituaries. It would also be invaluable to obtain copies of portraits of our Founder and early members.
