News! (13 May 2012) - For the first time since November 2011, Flat Earth Society t-shirts and sweatshirts are available! And this time we're also offering a new, special edition design featuring illustrations of the Bedford Level Experiment from seminal Flat Earth book Earth Not A Globe, the book that started the modern Flat Earth movement. The classic Society t-shirt is, of course, still available as well. So have a look at the Flat Earth Shop! (20 February 2012) - It's official! The Flat Earth Society has inherited a massive archive of materials from former FES president Samuel Shenton! Books, letters, newspaper articles, manuscripts, posters.. it's an amazing collection courtesy of the Science Fiction Foundation at the University of Liverpool. I'll be scanning and putting it online in the Flat Earth Library as quickly as possible. It's a big project, though, so keep checking back for more materials! As a small sample of what's to come, there three volumes of Samuel Shenton's correspondence available in the Library now. And please follow the official Flat Earth Society Twitter account @FlatEarthToday for news and updates! |
It is my great pleasure to officially reopen the Flat Earth Society to new members! While our Flat Earth Society forums have been a thriving online community since 2004, official membership in the Society has not been available since the passing of the last president, Charles K. Johnson. For more information about the reopening of the Society and the launch of this website, please have a look at our press release.
Our new website includes the Flat Earth Society forums (a thriving online community since 2004) as well as a number of new features including:
The Flat Earth Society Library - This online library contains a growing selection of Flat Earth resources. We have interviews, newspaper and magazine articles as well as the largest collection of Flat Earth Society newsletters in the world (online or otherwise!). The Flat Earth Society Library also includes hard-to-find writings from members of the 19th and early-20th Century Flat Earth movement and Universal Zetetic Society.The Flat Earth Wiki - This extensive Wiki is based on a FAQ originally compiled by forums user cheesejoff. It aims to answer any questions visitors might have about Flat Earth Theory or the Society. Because there are different schools of Flat Earth thought, the Wiki should not necessarily be taken as the "official" view of the Society. The specific beliefs of our members are widely varied, as should be expected from such a group of free-thinkers!
About the Society - A short history of the Flat Earth Society from its roots in the 1800s through its incarnation under Charles K. Johnson and finally to the modern Flat Earth Society of today.
Official Membership - After much planning, we are now ready to officially accept new members to the Society. Becoming an associate member of the Society is free and is as simple as sending a postcard. For those who wish to take on a more committed role in the Society, full membership (including a signed certificate, membership card and hand-numbered Flat Earth Society medallion) is available for a small donation.
The Flat Earth Shop - A small selection of Flat Earth Society merchandise is available. At the moment, it's t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Daniel's Blog - My blog will be updated periodically with news, information and my occasional personal ramblings.
