The Jack London Society, Inc. , an international non-profit organization that promotes study of the life and work of Jack London, was founded in 1990 as an author society affiliated with the American Literature Association, a coalition of author societies. It numbers over 300 members and continues to grow each year.
Membership is open to anyone interested in London.
The Society publishes a biannual newsletter, The Call , which features short articles, announcements, news about member activities, book collecting information, photographs, notices of recent publications, reviews, and research notes. It is indexed by the Library of Congress and mailed out in early summer and late fall each year. The Symposia offer formal papers, workshops, plenary speakers, excursions, and social events. Speakers include leading London scholars from major universities as well as presentations designed for high school instructors and interested readers. The Symposia are known for their combination of outstanding scholarly presentations and relaxed pace.
