The '''Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society''', (formerly known as '''Obituary Notices of Fellows of the Royal Society'''), is a journal published by the Royal Society of London. It is published annually and publishes obituaries of Fellows of the Royal Society. ''Biographical Memoirs'' has been published since 1955; ''Obituary Notices'' was published from 1932-1954. Prior to this obituaries were published in the ''Proceedings of the Royal Society.''
The obituaries are often quite long and detailed. They often include portraits and bibliographies of work by their subjects. They serve as excellent sources for research into biographies of scientists and for information about the history of science.
