Chronicle for Societies Founded from 1323 to 1799 The page that used to reside here was a chronology of 222 scholarly societies founded from 1323 to 1799. On 2000 May 3, that file was retired because it had become so large that it was causing users problems in loading it. Its content has been split into the following six segments (arranged by founding date), which are currently being maintained: 1323-1599 1600-1699 1700-1739 1740-1759 1760-1779 1780-1799 For the convenience of people who have reached this page from a search engine, we provide a link to the archival copy of the 1323-1799 file. This will allow you to identify the year of founding if you do not already know it. It would then be prudent to return here, and consult the appropriate chronological segment for that society, since the information in the latter location will be more up-to-date than in the archival copy.
