The Palaeontographical Society is a learned society, established in 1847, and is the oldest extant society devoted to the advancement of palaeontological knowledge. The society publishes monographs that further its primary purpose, which is to promote the description and illustration of fossil floras and faunas from Great Britain and Ireland. It also awards medals, prizes, and financial support for research dedicated to the taxonomy and systematic palaeontology of British and Irish fossils
