Our History, Our Future
Since 1908, the Paleontological Society has been committed to the global advancement of invertebrate and vertebrate paleontology, micropaleontology, and paleobotany. Our membership structure includes many different categories to encourage participation from paleontologists at all points in their lives and careers. Through annual meetings, conferences, grant funding, and journal publication, we promote a free exchange of ideas that ensures the continued relevance of the field.
Through accessibility and inclusivity, we continue to explore, publish, and create dialogue around new voices and ideas. We encourage everyone with a passion for paleontology to join us.
