Historical Geography Research Group (HGRG)
ActiveDescription
The Historical Geography Research Group (HGRG) is a study group of the Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers. In 2023 it marked 50 years since its founding in 1973. The Group 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, and to effect the publication of regular issues of its research series.
It publishes the Historical Geography Research Series (established in 1979) and a newsletter, runs the annual Practising Historical Geography conference for undergraduate and postgraduate students, sponsors sessions at the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference, and awards an annual Undergraduate Dissertation Prize and grants to support postgraduate research. Membership is open to all those who subscribe to its aims, and the Group charges a membership subscription for the additional services that it offers.
