MU English professor Noah Heringman became an elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2025. 

The Society of Antiquaries of London, a heritage charity that promotes understanding of the human past and recognizes distinction in this field through election to its Fellowship, describes its mission as “the encouragement, advancement and furtherance of the study and knowledge of the antiquities and history of this and other countries.”.

Heringman’s edition of Vetusta Monumenta documents the first century of the Society’s work. He joins elected fellows from all over the world, including the former director of MU’s Museum of Art and Archaeology, Alex Barker.

Founded in 1707, The Society of Antiquaries is one of the most distinguished international academies for humanities research, including archaeology, history, art history, and literature. Chartered since 1751, it is among the oldest royally chartered societies in Britain, second only to the Royal Society. 

The Society of Antiquaries boasts a renowned archive, research library, and museum located in London’s Burlington House, also home to the Society’s grant programs, exhibitions, lecture series, and two scholarly journals. 

International in its reach and inclusive of all aspects of the material past, the Society’s 3,000 Fellows include distinguished archaeologists and art and architectural historians.

Notable past fellows include Christopher Wren, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, John Lubbock, Ernst Gombrich, and Philippa Glanville.
