History of the BAA Lunar Section

In existence since 1890, the BAA Lunar Section is as old as the British Astronomical Association itself. Its roots actually go back further in time to the short-lived but highly energetic Selenographical Society (1878-82), many of whose members were leading lights in lunar research during the late Victorian and Edwardian era.
