SPECIAL JOINT MEETING – HISTORY OF GEOLOGY GROUP OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON (HOGG) – 9 NOVEMBER 2017:

A joint meeting of HOGG with the Royal Society of the Arts History Group is being planned for 9 November 2017 at the Geological Society rooms, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London.

The Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, founded in 1754, was a quintessential enlightenment organisation dedicated to raising the standard of life through encouraging invention, discovery and improvements. To this end it instituted a series of awards covering a broad spectrum of endeavour. Prizes in the field of chemistry, cartography, and land reclamation encouraged the emerging science and field practice of mineralogy and geology.

Although there were direct awards for mineralogical maps of England, Scotland and Ireland, other less direct awards set the scene by enabling geology and mineralogy to develop by exploitation of minerals, by hydrological and coastal defence work and by improved survey. Several prominent people of the time were members of both the Society of Arts and the Geological Society of London as well as other contemporary institutions, notably the Royal Institution.
Papers on the Society, its aims and organisation, its effectiveness in supporting the development of geology and mineralogy, and rivalries with other interested bodies, are being sought for this meeting.
Interested INHIGEO members should contact the HOGG convenor, John Henry at john@geolmaps.com.
