The Society of Antiquaries of London is the oldest independent learned society solely concerned with the study of the past. The Society has registered museum status for its collections at Burlington House and also for the buildings and collections at Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire, the former country home of William Morris, Fellow, and leader of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Its interests and collections are therefore cross-disciplinary, and the contribution made by both the Society and its Fellows to the study of the past over three hundred years has been considerable.
