British Ornithologists' Club

British Ornithologists' Club

The British Ornithologists' Club (BOC) was founded in October 1892 to promote discussion between ornithologists and to produce a journal, their "Bulletin", which has been published continuously since that year.

The objectives of the Club are the promotion of scientific discussion between members of the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU) and others interested in ornithology, and to facilitate the dissemination of scientific information concerned with ornithology. The club has a special interest in avian systematics, taxonomy and distribution.

The club was founded at a meeting of 15 members of the British Ornithologists' Union on October 5, 1892 to give BOU members the opportunity "to meet more than the customary once a year"Ernst Mayer, Preface to the "Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club, Vol. 112A (Centenary supplement), October 1992. pp.1-2 ISSN|0007-1595] . Philip Lutley Sclater was appointed as the first Chairman and Richard Bowdler Sharpe was appointed as editor of the "Bulletin". By the end of the first year, there were 84 members

In the 1930s, the Bulletin was published by H. F. & G. WitherbyBull. B.O.C. Vol. 58] Bull. B.O.C. Vol. 59]
