 The Barbara Pym Society was founded the 15th April 1994, following a literary weekend exploring the work of Barbara Pym, which was held at St. Hilda's in 1993. It is largely administered through the College, and holds its annual meeting at St. Hilda's. Barbara Pym entered St. Hilda’s College as an undergraduate in 1931 and took her B.A. degree in English Language and Literature in 1934.

The Society organises other literary events and activities and liases with the Bodleian Library which holds Barbara Pym's manuscripts and working notebooks. The Society keeps its records in the College Archive; these include written and audio-visual material relating to the meetings of the Society.

The Society publishes a twice-yearly newsletter, Green Leaves.

Information about the Society may be obtained from Eileen Roberts, St. Hilda's College, Oxford, OX4 1DY. Tel 01865 276828, fax 01865 276820.
