Founded in 1884, the RSGS is an educational charity the aims of which are to advance the science of Geography and create a greater understanding of the wider world, in the belief that geographical knowledge makes a significant difference to the way in which we view and shape the world we live in. These aims are pursued largely through: -

support for geographical research and the teaching of geography;
a community programme of nearly 100 illustrated talks throughout Scotland for both the Society’s members and the wider public;
the publication of a journal, newsletter, and occasional books and pamphlets on geographical issues; and
the provision of a geographical information service drawing on the Society’s extensive collections of books, journals, maps, photographs, and archives.
The Society, which has a membership of about 2,500, maintains four permanent staff, with the current addition of two fixed-term (2005-2007) «Images for All» Heritage-Lottery-funded project-workers, at its headquarters in Glasgow. Policy decisions are made by the RSGS Council, which represents a wide range of educational/geographic interests.
