The Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) is a British learned society and professional body dedicated to advancing geography. Its history dates to 1830, when it was established to promote geographical knowledge and exploration.
Over the years, the Society has supported research, expeditions, mapping, fieldwork, and the sharing of geographical discoveries with wider audiences. The Institute of British Geographers joined with the Society in 1995, creating the organization known today as the RGS-IBG.
Based in London, the Society continues to support geographers, teachers, students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the world and the forces shaping its landscapes, communities, and environments.
