Morrab Historical and Geological Society

The Morrab Historical and Geological Society was originally founded as the Penzance Ladies' Book Club in 1770. Becoming a private library in 1818, it expanded to include the Morrab Gardens in 1841, a municipal garden of tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean plants.
 * Leadership: Merryn Treeve, Secretary and Treasurer

After the Black Tide in 2013 devastated the original city of Penzance, the Morrab Historical and Geological Society became a local pioneer in ecological study and preservation. Many of the post-Awakening flora and fauna of the United Kingdom and English Channel were first described by MHAGS subscribers and subcontractors.

Since 2058, MHAGS has sponsored many marine salvage operations, archaeological digs, and astral jaunts. The data discovered are sold to corporations, and proceeds help fund further explorations or preservation and restoration efforts in Cornwall.
 * A Basic Subscription of 500 nuyen a month grants access to the library and greenhouse, as well as all data recovered.
 * A Knight Subscription, for 1500 nuyen a month, also grants access to all MHAGS exploration or restoration sites.
 * A Baronial Subscription, for 4500 nuyen a month, grants voting privileges on Society matters such as deciding which expeditions to sponsor, a plot of 5 square meters in the greenhouse, and 50% of the production of that greenhouse plot.
 * A Ducal Subscription, for 25,000 nuyen a month, grants a 25 square meter plot, a chance to borrow, house and display portions of the MHAGS proprietary collection, and a seat on the MHAGS Board of Directors.
