• American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists from the University of Toronto, Canada. AASP was established in 1967 by a group of 31 founding members to promote the science of palynology. Today AASP has a world-wide membership of about 800 and is run by an executive comprising an elected Board of Directors and subsidiary boards and committees.

• Canadian Association of Palynologists, from the University of Alberta. The Canadian Association of Palynologists was founded in 1978 and currently (February 1995) consists of about 60 members in good standing and 20 corresponding members from outside Canada. - Internet Resources for Palynologists

• International Organization of Paleobotany. The Secretariat of IOP, at the University of East London's Palaeobiology Research Unit, comprises a group of people interested in past environments and how their palaeobiology can be investigated. Most of the work is palaeobotanical, and centres around the Plant Fossil Record Database. This aims to get published records of fossil plants - pollen, seeds, wood, flowers, leaves, and so on - into a form that computers can search. Using computers to study past environments is a characteristic common feature of the activities of the research group. Principal Components Analysis and Cluster Analysis of palynological data, and of semi-quantitative megafossil observations, are other important activities of the group.IOP publishes IOP Newsletters and maintains the Palaeo Talk pages.
