Geologists from Warsaw have been active in works of the Polish Geological Society since the very beginning of its existence (the first PGS status was adopted in 1921). Although the Warsaw Branch (WB) of PGS was established only in 1923, organization of the first PGS annual scientific meetings in Kielce in 1921 was entrusted to the Warsaw geologist Jan Czarnocki. Jan Lewiński was elected the first chairman of the Warsaw Branch of PGS in 1923. In the same year, he organized the third PGS annual scientific meeting. However, it was not until the General Assembly in 1930 that the autonomy of the PGS branches was decided. In the pre-war period, members of the WB PGS organized the sixth PGS annual scientific meeting (ASM) in Katowice and the 12th PGS ASM in Sandomierz in 1925. The ASM in Kielce, scheduled for September 1, 1939, did not take place. After the war, in March 1946, the Warsaw Branch of PGS was reactivated and a year later it organized the 20th PGS ASM in the western part of the Holy Cross Mts. In 1952, the jubilee 25th PGS ASM was organized in Warsaw. Two subsequent conventions concerned the geology of north-eastern Poland: the 45th ASM in 1973 and the 64th ASM in 1993. In 2012, the Warsaw Branch organized the second Polish Geological Congress in Warsaw. The 83 ,rd PGSASM was held in the Lublin region in2014, the 84th PGSASM in the Holy Cross Mts in 2015, and the 86th PGS ASM in Łuków in 2018.

The Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established on April 24, 1921. The seat of the PGS Board is in Kraków, as the Jagiellonian University in Kraków was the most active centre of geological sciences before Poland regained independence in 1918. Forover100years, the main forms of the Society's activity have been annual conferences in various parts of Poland and the publication of the journal Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae. There are three main periods in the history of the Society. During the first period, covering the years 1921-1939, the activities of PGS focused on the integration of the geological community and the development of regional branches (Warszawa, Lwów, Borysław and Wilno). During this period, the tradition of annual scientific meetings of PGS in various parts of Poland was established. Additionally, PGS members were instrumental in establishing the Carpatho-Balkan Geological Association and the INQUA. The development of PGS was abruptly stopped in September 1939 by World War II, during which several dozens of Society's members lost their lives. The third period covers the post-war period. The most intense development of the society took place in the 1960s and 1970s, when membership reached almost 1,500 active members, and the attendance at the annual meetings was in the order of hundreds of participants, often including foreign guests. During this period, many regional branches and specialist sections were established. The society's activity was high also during the crisis years of the1980s. After the political changes in 1989-1990, PGS significantly developed international contacts. In the1990s, representatives of the Society were invited to AEGS, EFG and AAPG, which resulted in the organization of numerous international conferences. One of the most important initiatives of the 21st century was the organization of the Polish Geological Congresses in 2008, 2012 and 2016. The most important element of the Society's activities is still the very popular annual PGS Scientific Meetings together with the accompanying field trips and seminars.
