2004, Sept.8 Duisburgische Gelehrte Gesellschaft (flourished between 1759 and 1761) was added. This society was the first to be added without knowing its founding year; this reflects a change in policy.
2004, Aug.16 Società Letteraria Ravennate (founded 1752, ceased 1771) was added.
2004, Aug.15 Accademia dei Gelati di Bologna (founded 1588, ceased 1800) was added.
2004, Aug.12 Freimaurerloge "Zur wahren Eintracht" (1781-1785) was added. This is an interesting organization because it was one of few European Masonic lodges during the Enlightenment that aspired to be, and functioned to some degree as, scholarly societies.
2004, Aug.10 Société des Amateurs des Sciences Physiques et Naturelles de Paris (founded 1807, ceased 1809) was added.
2004, Aug.8 The existing history page for the Royal Society of Edinburgh had included information about a precursor society. That page was split into a page for each society: the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh (1731-1783) and the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1783- ). Additional information about the journals of the earlier Society was also included.
2004, Aug. 3 Société Médico-Pratique de Paris (founded 1805, ceased 1907) was added.

Society for Philosophical Experiments and Conversations (founded 1794, ceased 1796) was added.

2004, July 30 Académie des Sciences (founded 1666): a new and much richer history page was finally published. This revised history page for one of the most important scholarly societies of the early period is more than ten times larger than the original page, which had been published several years previously. The new page includes many more journals, more detail on the journals, links to full-text archives of the journals, and considerably more abbreviations for the journal titles of this society.

The revision of this page was a major project that extended over the span of a couple of years. The problems associated with the journals of this Society were so serious that the Editor required several months between work sessions in order to recover from the vexation that resulted.
