There are gaps.\nPrinted lists of Members/Fellows also appear bound into the volumes of Transactions, later the Journal, for most years. In the 1970s and 80s, separate printed lists were published.\nInformation contained in lists includes name and usually address, date of election and year of resignation ('declined') or death, if specifically noted. early lists include details of proposer and some also include Member's area of interest or profession.\n\n

Minutes and papers

Minutes of the Society, Minutes of the Council and other committees relating to the governance of the organisation. The minutes are largely records of decisions taken on general policy and administration and the confirmation or rejection of reports from committees. Names of candidates for election as subscribing or corresponding members with addresses and proposers are given (up to 1900).\n\nFinance & General Purposes Committee Minutes were bound together with the Council Minutes between 1952 -1964, and so are catalogued with the Council minutes for this period. Thereafter they were bound separately, and the F&GP minutes can be found under RSA/AD/MA/400/12/02.
