"About the Society"

I've removed this list below from the already over-long list of Further reading. Further reading sections should not be a mere listing of every source that mentions the article subject, but a well-tailored list that offers perspective beyond what would be found in a FA-quality article. I leave this list here as potential citations for future article development. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:52, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
