Below is a list of Fellows of the British Academy by year of election (F=First Fellows, as appointed in the charter of incorporation; for others, e.g. 14=1914 and 32=1932). All years up to 1932 are from Proceedings of the British Academy, vol. xviii (1932), pp. vii–x.

Notes on sources
The Proceedings of the British Academy published detailed obituaries of fellows, although it will be clear that not all fellows had obituaries produced, often for reasons not now clear. In recent years, the Proceedings were reaching an unwieldy length and so these obituaries have been published separately as Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy. Proceedings since 1965 are available openly online up to 2011 as are some volumes of the Biographical Memoirs.

The Academy has sometimes taken to reprinting obituaries in volumes dedicated to particular topics and sometimes these include new ones for those who have had an obituary appear in Proceedings. One such case is M. Lapidge (ed.), Interpreters of Early Medieval Britain (OUP for Brit. Acad., 2002), pp. 91–118. As outlined in its introduction (p. vii), new obituaries were produced for Walter William Skeat, Henry Bradley and A. S. Napier.

A discussion on the political leanings of early fellows is in W. C. Lubenow, Liberal Intellectuals and Public Culture in Modern Britain, 1815–1914 (Boydell, 2010), pp. 209–11.
