From its humble beginnings at The Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester to its groundbreaking congresses in Birmingham, Southampton, Montreal, and Bristol, this association has been a beacon of scientific advancement. Engraved images capture the essence of these historic moments. Portraits of esteemed presidents adorn the walls at Birmingham, showcasing their dedication to various sections of knowledge. The Congress at Southampton comes alive through detailed sketches that depict the voyage out to this vibrant city.
