Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1789 According to the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen website, the Society was founded in 1789, and to some extent functioned as a private university. We further read that, shortly after the Society acquired in 1804 a couple of important collections, the newly formed state museum arranged to take over all the collections of the Society, and the Society was effectively dissolved. This suggests a likely cessation date of 1804 or 1805.
The Københavns Rådhusbibliotek website, reviews an article (Holme Andersen, Jan & Jakobsen, Tove B.: Røgt og pleje. In: Skalk 1998. Nr. 5, pp.20-28.) indicating that the article is about the Naturhistorie Selskabet, founded in 1789, and its merger in 1805 with Det Kongelige Naturhistoriske Museum.

A Skrivter af Naturhistorie-Selskabet

The GBV German Union cat. record follows the cessation date of 1810 by a question mark, indicating uncertainty; the Libris: Swedish Union cat. record does not.
It is not clear whether Bind 6 included material written past the merger of the Society with the Museum in 1805. It is certainly conceivable that it included material written only before the merger, but that there was a significant delay in publication.
