Scholarly Societies Project
http://www.scholarly-societies.org/

"facilitating access to information about scholarly societies across the world since 1994 (last updated: 2003, September 15)"

Historical Importance Right from their earliest beginnings, scholarly societies played a major role in bringing scholars together in meetings where they could discuss and exchange ideas.

In the pre-1800 period, by far the majority of scholarly journals were published by scholarly societies. It is for this reason that the Reuss Repertorium is so valuable a tool.

Present-Day Importance: Even today, scholarly societies still play a very active role in arranging meetings for scholarly exchange.
Although scholarly societies no longer publish the vast majority of scholarly journals, the material that they do publish is often of superior quality, and is generally more reasonably priced than journals from commercial publishers.

Directory Information for Scholarly Societies (covering many subject areas)

Directory information typically includes the society name, contact information, founding date, and subject areas of interest. It may also include the location of the society, number of members, and the major journals.
