Access for Fellows

Fellows of the Geological Society of London enjoy a range of access benefits by virtue of their membership of the Society such as:


Journals


All Fellows are entitled to full access of one free Society journal as part of their package of benefits.
Additionally, all Fellows receive free access to the online versions of the Transactions of the Geological Society of London (published 1811-1856).

Fellows can also choose to subscribe to additional Society journals. For 2011, online access is just £35 a year per journal, or online access and print copies is £45 a year per journal. Please contact the Membership Department to add or amend membership journals.

The Society journals available on the Lyell Collection:
  • Journal of the Geological Society
  • Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology
  • Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis
The Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society, the Scottish Journal of Geology and the Journal of Micropalaeontology are not Society journals. Fellows can access content of the relevant journal by using pay-per-view, purchasing a non-member subscription or by joining YGS for the Proceedings, GSG or EGS for the Scottish Journal or TMS for the Journal of Micropalaeontology.


Special Publications and books


In addition to their journal entitlement, Fellows receive completely free access to the Society’s online "Book Archive" with further series and titles to be added as the Lyell Collection develops. 

The Book Archive gives Fellows access to all books (Special Publications, Memoirs and Engineering Geology Special Publications) published prior to the current or three previous calendar years without restriction and, once again, all references are actively linked through to the source of cited material.

Fellows can subscribe to the Full Book Collection for a modest subscription fee of £55 for 2010, which extends electronic access to all book titles, from the date of publication. (No journal content is included with a Full Book Collection subscription).

Contact the Membership Department to subscribe to the Full Book Collection.

Please see the Lyell Collection FAQ if you have any questions.

Please see Publications Catalogues  for a full list of book titles available on the Lyell Collection.


Pay-per-view access


Fellows requiring access to content to which they do not subscribe can still access articles by selecting the pay-per-view option, which is available for all Lyell Collection content.
