The Scholarly Societies Project has been created to facilitate access to information about scholarly societies across the world.

Scholarly Societies and Scholarly Communication

To give some context for the Project, we have prepared a set of essays showing how societies began as meeting sponsors and publishers, then took on bibliographic work, interacted with commercial publishers, and now have begun to tackle the current crisis in scholarly publishing.
