Member YPSYork

Welcome to the Yorkshire Philosophical Society Member's small library in the Lodge, Museum Gardens, York, UK

The society was formed in 1822, when “natural philosopher” was the term used for a scientist, and our traditional name has been retained. We continue to pursue the aim of promoting the public understanding of science by providing a programme of lectures for the public, and activities for members, as well as awarding grants and prizes to qualifying organisations and students. We are also responsible for a number of publications, including our Annual Report.

Honorary Librarian - which is a volunteer role although I was a professional librarian
