Support the Collections
You can support our Collections by buying prints, donating items or becoming a member of the Society.
Donate items
We hold monographs, journals, photographs, artwork, maps, atlases, globes, artefacts and manuscripts.
Our Principal Librarian, Eugene Rae, considers all potential donations to these holdings. For more information on our collecting policy, please contact him via email at enquiries@rgs.org
Purchase prints
Some of the most iconic and important images and maps from the Society's Collection have been specially selected for the Society’s print-on-demand service. Visitors to the RGS Print Store can browse and buy prints of photographs, artworks and maps dating from 1553, many of which are unique to the Society. Items can be purchased mounted or un-mounted, and in a variety of sizes, with prices starting at just £16 plus post and packaging.
Every purchase supports the ongoing work of the Society.
Sponsor conservation
We have an ongoing programme to preserve our Collections. If you would like to make a donation towards conservation activities, or sponsor the conservation of a specific item, please contact our Deputy Librarian Jan Turner at enquiries@rgs.org
