Welcome to LinnaenSociety.org. This site is an informational resource on The Linnaen Society of London; a society which takes its name from the well-known Swedish naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus. The Linnaen Society of London was founded in 1788. Today it remains the world’s oldest extant biological society in the world. It is a place where all of the areas of natural history are discussed and disputed.

As a society that accepts all areas of biology, and it has since the society’s beginnings centuries ago. In fact, the Linnaen Society’s charter is the same today as it was over 200 years ago: devoted to “the cultivation of the science of natural history in all its branches”. The society encourages debate, research, publication, meetings, and maintains internationally important collections in the biological sciences.

Carolus Linnaeus is often referred to as “the father of taxonomy”. His system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms is still in use today. It is referred to as: binomial nomenclature. Linnaeus’s position as an authority in taxonomy created a perfect namesake for the London society. Today the Linnaen Society continues to specialize in the study and broadcasting of taxonomy, and continues to publish a zoological journal, a botanical journal, and a biological journal.

The Linnaen Society has branches worldwide in Australia, Sweden, France, Canada, and the United States. Membership in the Linnaen Society is open to anyone interested in the work, and prospective members can join with a student membership.
