Manuscript archive

The Manuscript archive collection consists of:

  • material arising out of the conduct of Society business
  • manuscripts relating to persons or subjects of special interest

Individual special collections may not be fully comprehensive but do complement those in other establishments.

The document collection includes a few papers from before the Society's foundation in 1830.

The collection is particularly useful to:

  • biographers of nineteenth and early twentieth century travellers and geographers
  • research into the development of geographical knowledge and the historical development of geography
