Summary

Founded in 1830, the Royal Geographical Society is the UK's leading body for geography, dedicated to the promotion of the study and pursuit of geographical science around the globe. Its archive houses one of the richest libraries and collections of global artefacts on Earth, brought back from countless missions into the unknown, for more than three centuries.

It’s a living history of human exploration. What started as a small dining club for the world’s most intrepid explorers has grown to become an organisation of almost 17,000 members whose work reaches millions every year.
