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.

In the 100-year history of the Polish Geological Society (PGS), international activity has been very important element of its activity. Shortly after the formation of PGS in 1921, CBGA (1922) and INQUA (1928) were formed as a result of the activities of PGS members. In the post-WWII period, international cooperation was undertaken by both the Main Board of PGS, as well as regional branches and specialist sections. During this period, foreign activity was limited mainly to the countries of the Eastern Block (Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia) and Austria. Nevertheless, the Ore Deposit Genesis Section and Palaeontological Section joined international organizations (IAGOD and IPA). The revival of international contacts took place in the 1990s. Cooperation was established with societies from the Baltic Countries, Albania and Bulgaria. The Polish Geological Society has become a member of AEGS and EFG and is affiliated with the AAPG. In the first two decades of the 21st century, PGS organized several international conferences: 12th MAEGS (2001), Pan-European Correlation of the epicontinental Triassic 4th Meeting (2007), GEO-Pomerania (2007), ICHNIA (2008), SEDIMENT (2009), 31st IAS Meeting of Sedimentology (2015) and 16th CETEG Meeting (2018). An important element of international cooperation has always been the participation of geologists from neighbouring countriesin the annual scientific meetings of PTGeol and symposia of specialist sections taking place in border areas. In this respect, the best cooperation in several decades was with colleagues from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and after 2000 also from Ukraine. PGS grants the status of an honorary member of the Society to distinguished persons from abroad. Even before World War II, Maurice Lugeon became the first honorary member of PGS in history. In 100-year history ofPGS, 47persons from Poland and abroad received it, also members of PGS received status of an honorary member from other Geological Societies.

Scientific sessions are an important element of activity of the Polish Geological Society. The crisis in the organization of scientific sessions was caused by the SARS-C0V-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, during which most of the lectures were canceled. The response to the crisis of social contacts and the suspension of sessions during the pandemic were national scientific sessions on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Polish Geological Society. The on-line form was introduced as a new and universal way of organizing scientific sessions of the PGS. The initiative met with great interest of geologists in Poland and was very positively assessed by the respondents. Due to the success of national scientific sessions, they were permanently included in the calendar of scientific events in Poland.

The Structural Geology and Geohazards Research Group (SRGR) of the Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established in 2017 on the initiative of employees of the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute, the University of Wrocław, and the Jagiellonian University in order to integrate structural geologists, exchange views and information, and undertake various forms of cooperation. Geologists from over a dozen Polish scientific and commercial institutions, as well as foreign ones, participate in the works of the section. The activity of the section focuses on improving the research skills of its members and supporting them in achieving the best possible research results. An important element of the section's work is the promotion of issues related to structural research and the dissemination of research results through organizations, and participation in national and international conferences. During the first five years of its activity, the section organized, among others, the 16th CETEG Meeting in 2018 in Rytro (southern Poland), and its members delivered several lectures at conferences organized by PGS and during the “Polish National Scientific Meetings of the Polish Geological Society”, which was organized on the 100th anniversary of the organization's existence.

The Upper Silesian Branch of the Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established in 1962 as one of the first regional branches of the PGS. Due to the specificity of the region, geologists working in Upper Silesia were most often concerned with the exploration and exploitation of hard coal in the USCB, but also undertook research on the geology of the USCB margin, polymetallic deposits, hydrocarbons, hydrogeology, and environmental protection in areas of mining activities. These problems were expressed in the topics of PGS annual meetings, field sessions and seminars. During the 60 years of activity, five PGS meetings were organized, the topics of which concerned the latest achievements in geology in the region. Already in the first years of operation of the Upper Silesian Branch of PGS, it was noticed that a special feature of this branch is the considerable dispersion of geologists working in various cities of the voivodeship. However, despite the difficulties resulting from this fact, the Upper Silesian Branch is active and it has been consolidating the scattered community of geologists in the region of Upper Silesia since its establishment.

The Kraków Branch of the Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established in 1922 and is the oldest and largest regional branch of the PGS. Initially, it was managed directly by the PGS Main Board, and from 1963, it has its own board. From the beginning, it has been one of the most active centres of the PGS and supported the work of the PGS management board in organizational activities in the country and in foreign cooperation. During World War II, its members gave secret lectures, and in the post-war period, they took part in reactivating the PGS activities and establishing both other branches and most of the specialist sections of PGS. The branch organized about 30% of all annual PGS Scientific Meetings and several dozen other scientific symposia and popular scientific sessions. It was the centre to initiate the organization of Polish Geological Congresses in the 21st century. The Kraków Branch includes representatives of all scientific institutes from Kraków and beyond, dealing with Earth sciences.
