Summary: “The Nuttall Ornithological Club, founded in 1873, was the first organization in North America devoted to ornithology. During the Club’s more than a century of existence, its members have been remarkably influential in the field of ornithology. Perhaps the most important contribution of the Club to ornithology has been its publications, which it has sponsored since its early history. From 1876 to 1883 the Club published the first journal in North America devoted to ornithology, the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club. In 1883 the Club “donated” the Bulletin to the newly formed American Ornithologists’ Union (AOU), along with its editor J. A. Allen, and the Bulletin became the Auk.” The above information and more can be found at: nuttallclub.org/History.htm. Contents include:
