Society of Authors Members
Description
An account of the resource
By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 <a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle">Vice-Presidents</a> and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, <a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors"><em>The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation</em></a>, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (<em><a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus">Society of Authors Prospectus</a></em>, 1912).<br /><br />This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.
