Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1779 According to Arts en weer, the Society was founded in 1779 in the Hague as the Natuur- en Geneeskundige Correspondentie Sociëteit. The Frisian teacher Jan Hendrik van Swinden (1746-1823), who also occupied himself with making meterological observations, played a large role in this Society. The ideas about the relationship between weather and illness propounded by Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738) took on new life through this Society, and for nearly fifteen years weather observations in various locations were reported by physicians. With the end of the 18th century came an end to the Society, because of, among other things, the French invasion and lack of money.
