Ludlow Natural History Society
Ludlow Natural History Society was founded in 1833 at a meeting held in the market hall at Ludlow, Shropshire. The society's original rules and aims stated that 'there be a museum and library illustrative of the various departments of science' and by the end of the year collections were being acquired. Although the society was principally interested in the geology, flora and fauna of the area surrounding Ludlow; in later years they also collected items of historical interest. After the First World War the society's membership declined in number and in 1940 the collections were passed to Shropshire County Council who continued to run Ludlow Museum.

Membership
New members of the society were elected following nomination by existing members and were required to pay a yearly membership fee.
