The Geological Society of London was founded in 1807. It is the UK national society for geoscience, and the oldest geological society in the world. As well as boasting one of the most important geological libraries in the world, the Geological Society is a global leader in Earth science publishing, and is renowned for its cutting edge science meetings. It is a vital forum in which Earth scientists from a broad spectrum of disciplines and environments can exchange ideas, and is an important communicator of geoscience to academics, government, media, those in education and the broader public.

The Lyell Collection

To mark its 200th Anniversary in 2007, the Geological Society of London has created a completely new electronic publishing service. Launched in May 2007, the Society’s new online Lyell Collection - whose creation has been made possible by the generosity of our sponsors BP and Shell - features the full content of its wholly owned journals, Special Publications and key book series. This completely new service is available to the Earth science community worldwide.

• Features Journal of the Geological Society, Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, the Geological Society’s prestigious Special Publications, and the Engineering Geology Special Publications and Memoir book series. For the 2009 subscription year the journal Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis will be added to the Collection, as well as the full text of the Society’s historically significant Transactions, published between 1811 and 1856.
