About Spalding Gentlemen’s Society
Spalding Gentlemen’s Society (SGS) was founded in 1710 by Maurice Johnson ‘The Antiquary’ whose initial vision was to support learning and education of his local community. SGS is Britain’s oldest provincial learned society and second-oldest museum, making it of clear national, if not international, heritage significance.
The founding ethos of the Society was ‘Pro Bono Publico’ or ‘for the public good’ and 300 years after the Society was founded, the meaning of this phrase is once again at the very heart of the vision of the project being put forward today.
Today, SGS operates as a public-facing museum and educational charity supported by a membership of more than 360 individuals from around the world (membership being open to anyone over the age of 18). The Society is driven by a team of more than 75 regular volunteers, facilitated by a part-time Head of Collections & Operations and a full-time Collections & Facilities Officer.
