                  <text>By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&amp;amp;sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle"&gt;Vice-Presidents&lt;/a&gt; and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

                  <text>By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&amp;amp;sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle"&gt;Vice-Presidents&lt;/a&gt; and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893).

Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

                  <text>By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&amp;amp;sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle"&gt;Vice-Presidents&lt;/a&gt; and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>

                  <text>By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&amp;amp;advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&amp;amp;sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle"&gt;Vice-Presidents&lt;/a&gt; and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, &lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus"&gt;Society of Authors Prospectus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, 1912).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.</text>
