Encyclopedia : C : CU : CUV : Cuvierian Society
The Cuverian Society was founded as a committee of the Royal Cork Institution in October 1835. The meetings were held on the first Wednesday of the Autumn and Winter months in the Library of the Royal Cork Institution. The Society was called after a noted French Naturalist. Its early years concentrated on the natural sciences but by mid century had evolved to be mainly archaeological.
