Currently IAU Commission 41 has four active Working Groups (WGs), on archives, astronomical chronology, historical astronomical instruments and transits of Venus. The aim of each WG is to foster the exchange of information and ideas between colleagues with similar research interests, and in some instances to organise collaborative research projects. Although the WGs were set up by the IAU, membership is open to the entire international history of astronomy community.
If you are involved in researching any of these areas and would like to join a particular WG simply contact the relevant Committee chair person. WG membership is free, and you can join immediately.
