The H.G. Wells Society was founded in 1960. It has an international membership, and aims to promote a widespread interest in the life, work and thought of Herbert George Wells (see "Statement of Objects"). It publishes an annual journal, The Wellsian, and issues a biannual newsletter. It has published a comprehensive bibliography of Wells's published works, and other publications, including a number of works by Wells which have been out of print for many years.
Here is a list of H.G. Wells works currently in print (updated through February 2005), an important note on Wells and Copyright, and a full bibliography.

In addition, the Society has organised two major international conferences. The first, under the title, "H.G. Wells under Revision", was held in 1986 to mark the 40th anniversary of Wells's death; the second, "The Time Machine: Past, Present and Future" was held in 1995 to mark the centenary of the publication of Wells's first scientific romance.
