In 2023, the Historical Geography Research Group marked 50 years since its founding in 1973 and, since then, the HGRG has become one of the largest and most active study groups in the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers).

On our website you can find out more about the work we do — from organising conferences, including our popular Practising Historical Geography for students and early career researchers, to our support for postgraduate researchers and the prizes we award, and the publication of high-quality scholarship in our ongoing HGRG research series. You can also find out how you can join the Group.
