HISTORY

The ''Bulgarian Literary Society'' was founded on 26 September 1869 in Brăila , present-day Romania . The first Statues accepted were:

Board of Trustees
  • Nikolai Tsenov – President

  • Vasilaki Mihailidi

  • Petraki Simov

  • Kostaki Popovich

  • Stefan Beron


Acting members:
  • Marin Drinov (1838-1906) – Chairman

  • Vasil Drumev (1840-1901) – Member

  • Vasil D. Stoyanov (1839-1910) – Secretary


The following year, the Literary Society began issuing the ''Periodical Journal'', its official publication, and in 1871 elected its first honorary member - Gavril Krstevich .

In 1878 , shortly after Bulgaria's liberation from Ottoman rule, the General Assembly voted to move the seat of the Society from Brăila to Sofia , and on 1 March 1893 the BLS moved into its own building, right next to where the Bulgarian Parliament is seated.

The Bulgarian Literary Society adopted its present-day name in 1911, and Ivan Geshov became the Academy's first president. The BAS became a member of the Union Of Slavonic Academies And Scientific Communities in 1913 , and was accepted as member of the International Council Of Scientific Unions in 1931 .

The BAS has 9 main sections, more broadly united under three main branches: ''Natural, mathematical and engineering sciences'', ''Biological, medical and agrarian sciences'' and ''Social sciences, humanities and art''.
