Welcome to the website of 'The Society of Authors, 1884–1914: Professional Association and Literary Property' project, funded by a Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant.

This database contains digitised archival and published documents relating to the history of the Society, as well as social network visualisations of its committee members, to offer a view into the membership of the Society.

Users can:

• View our list of committee members using the 'Browse Members' tab, and explore the committees themselves using the 'Browse Committees' tab
• View and read the Society's publications under 'Browse Publications', and browse a complete run of The Author, 1890–1914
• Use 'Tags' to narrow the list of members and publications, exploring different disciplines and issues such as copyright or pensions
• Search using keywords, and parameters such as date ranges, specific committees and occupations
• Download data in atom, dcmes-xml, json and omeka-xml format
