The H.G. Wells Society: 
Statement of Objects

The H.G. Wells Society is an association composed of persons interested in Wells's life and works, who are anxious to encourage a wider interest in his writings and ideas.

The object of the Society is "to promote and encourage universally an active interest in, and appreciation of, the life, work and thought of Herbert George Wells".

Its specific aims are:

• To encourage a greater interest in the works of H.G. Wells on the part of publishing, press and broadcasting organisations.
• To promote a wider knowledge of the ideas and ideals of H.G. Wells and to assist in promoting their understanding and dissemination.
• To organise lectures, meetings and conferences, to issue publications, and to engage in such other educational work as will assist towards the realisation of the Society's aims.

Over the years the Society has built up a substantial collection of books and pamphlets by Wells, and has also accumulated an archive of press cuttings relating to Wells. This collection is now housed in the Learning Centre of the University of North London, on Holloway Road, London, where it may be consulted by students and researchers.
