The American Arachnological Society (AAS) was founded in August 1972 to promote the study of arachnids, to achieve closer cooperation and understanding between amateur and professional arachnologists, and to publish the Journal of Arachnology. The Society also sponsors annual meetings and cooperates with other professional societies. Membership is open to all individuals interested in the Society's objectives.

The Australian Tarantula Association's Primary Aim.. To raise the public awareness of native Australian tarantulas. To circulate up to date and correct information about Australian tarantulas including identification, captive care, basic ecology, in order to eliminate common misconceptions. To encourage the breeding and sale of captive-bred tarantulas as opposed to wild-harvested tarantulas. To provide a focal point for the sharing of information, knowledge and experiences between breeders and keepers of Australian tarantulas. To support and work in conjunction with professional Arachnologists and academic institutions.

In 1958 the Flatford Mill Spider Group was formed by a small band of enthusiasts lead by D.W. Mackie. This blossomed to a membership of 42 by 1963 and had a regular news bulletin produced by David Mackie. At this time it was decided to give it national status by renaming it the British Spider Study Group - by 1965 the membership had risen to 52 and included its first non-British members. At its tenth annual meeting in 1968 it was resolved the Group would change its status and become the British Arachnological Society. In May 1999 the BAS celebrated its 40th Anniversary by holding the Annual General Meeting at Flatford Mill. The gathering included two of the original members of the Flatford Mill Spider Group! The modern BAS now has over 250 U.K. members and almost as many overseas members, together with a number of subscribing institutions throughout the world.

With respect to public benefit, the society serves to unite all - primarily German - arachnologists, except acarologists. The DeArGe aims to • inform about and study arachnids and their correct keeping and breeding, • allay fears concerning common prejudices towards spiders, this includes correcting information which are published by the media, • further the protection of indigenous arachnids and their natural habitat, which also means to encourage captive breeding, • promote cooperation with other arachnologic clubs, e.g. BTS and ATS

Twenty-one indigenous and six introduced species in nine genera occur in North America; two of the introductions have been intercepted only in quarantines at ports, and two others are known only from one or two sites in Canada. Two Canadian provinces -- Ontario and British Columbia -- and 43 of the lower 48 states harbor indigenous scolopendromorphs, the exceptions being North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine; one species also is native to southern Alaska.

These pages provide general information on both millipedes & centipedes and sections on past, present, and projected research projects. The latter involve extensive collaborations with colleagues both in the US and other countries and continents, and will be updated periodically as new information becomes available. There is also a table of differences between millipedes & centipedes (it's more than just the number of legs) and a page of links to other websites with photos and accurate information on these organisms. The general information concludes with family-level taxonomies, and photos of representatives of North American taxa will be accessible by clicking on names in these classifications.
