The Historical Geography Research Group (HGRG) is one of the largest research groups of the RGS-IBG. Membership is open to all those Fellows who subscribe to these aims:

• to initiate and foster research in the field of Historical Geography.
• to promote discussion by means of meetings and conferences.
• to further co-operation between cognate disciplines and organisations.
• to organise publication of monographs, collected papers and discussion materials.

The group publishes three issues of its newsletter every year updating members on activities. It also publishes the Research Paper Series (38 issues published since 1979) providing scholars with an outlet for extended essays of an interpretative or conceptual nature that make a substantive contribution to some aspect of the subject; critical reviews of the literature on a major problem; and commentaries on relevant sources. One or two numbers are produced annually. A list of publications is available from the HGRG Honorary Secretary.
