Founding of the Society
Year	Authority / Notes
1807	This date is supported by its website (). It appears that the Society was founded as the Geological Society, without any geographical designator appended. The best evidence is a record in the National Lib. Scotland cat. for the following title: Regulations of the Geological Society. ([Regulations & list of members, Jan. 1, 1808. - List of members, June 3, 1808.]). with an imprint of: [London, 1807-1808]. From 1811 to 1824 its journal was called the Transactions of the Geological Society , but changed in 1829 to Transactions of the Geological Society of London.
