The Siam Society was founded in 1904 in cooperation with Thai and foreign scholars. The Society quickly became a learned society whose members included many of the most illustrious historians, archaeologists and epigraphers of that period. It was not long before it moved beyond its original narrow confines to its current location in the centre of Bangkok to meet the needs of a much wider audience. From the beginning, the Society has been dedicated to the objectives of encouraging the study and enjoyment of the art, science, culture and natural history of Thailand and its neighbours, and to making this knowledge and experiences more widely available to local and international communities. In 1932, the first permanent office and library facilities were built on land generously donated to the Society by Mr. A.E.Nana.In 1997, the Chalerm Phra Kiat Building, constructed in honour of the 50th anniversary of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne, was completed, housing the library, exhibition space, meeting rooms and office for Society staff.
