Membership of HOGG is open to anyone interested in the history of geology (you do not need to be a Fellow of the Geological Society of London).

Our membership is drawn from a wide range of backgrounds, some geological, some historical, others are artists, librarians, medical professionals, teachers and many another trade.

HOGG organises an interesting programme of events, activities, field meetings, conferences, symposia and workshops.

• • Members gain free admission to all our regular online talks, and discounted fees to conferences, symposia, field meetings and most other events.
  • Members receive our magazine GeoHistories, published twice a year, plus regular HOGG Bulletins – issued every 6 weeks – which keeps members up-to-date with news of publications and events in the wider history of geology community.
