Society of Biblical Archaeology
[The Society of Biblical Archaeology was founded on 1870,
December 9, according to AnyDay-in-History:
December 09.
According to Scudder
#465, the Syro-Egyptian Society of London (founded in 1844)
was merged into the Society of Biblical Archaeology.
This evidently happened in 1870 or somewhat later.
It appears that in 1919 the Society of Biblical Archaeology merged
into the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland
(founded in 1823).
This latter contention is supported by two pieces of evidence.
First, the Library Catalogues page at the
Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland includes the note:
"Note: includes collections of the Library of the Society of
Biblical
Archaeology, merged with RAS, 1919."
Second, according to a record in the
University of Leicester
Union List of Periodicals:
"Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology
London: Society of Biblical Archaeology, 1878-1918
[became Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and
Ireland]".]
