A brief history of the Society
The Society started 9th January 1975 as the Geological Section of the Hertfordshire Natural History Society. The name was changed to the Hertfordshire Geology Society (A section of Hertfordshire Natural History Society & Field Club) in 1984 and in 2003 the Hertfordshire Geological Society became an independent organisation. In 2012 the Hertfordshire RIGS Group became associated with the Society.
The HGS became a Local Group of the Geologists’ Association in 2013, after being an Affiliate since 1991.
