Map Room Conversations
In this introduction to the Special Section entitled ‘Map Room Conversations’ we explain the origins of the collection in a set of sessions co‐organised by the authors at the 2024 Annual International Conference of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). These sessions paired presenters working on similar topics from different perspectives, who briefly introduced a selection of maps or mapping objects to participants and then engaged in discus…

Mapping Indigeneity in the RGS‐IBG map collections
This article summarises and reflects on the ‘Mapping Indigeneity’ Map Room Conversation that formed part of the RGS‐IBG Annual International Conference 2024. As debates continue to gather pace regarding the colonial legacies of geography and how researchers can work with/work against these legacies, the theme of this Conversation was timely and inspired an engaging and thought‐provoking discussion. The paper is organised into three sections. Firs…
Mapping collections
Maps are politically, socially, and culturally inflected objects that can communicate information and teach us about the time and society that shaped them. They are not only tools to serve present needs, but are also rich historical sources that require curation, conservation, and care. This historical legacy is well represented in the map collection of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). The stewardship of these historical maps offers man…
Building a Foundation to Unify the Language of Climate Change in Historical Archaeology
Climate Change and the Consequences of Underrepresentation in the Archaeological Record
Chasing legacies
Much of the historiography of European encounters in the Pacific focuses on the period from 1768 onward, when the emerging British scientific community and the growing British Empire consolidated their relationship. In this arena, Joseph Banks remains the example par excellence, thanks to his participation in the Endeavour voyage and his central place in a wide-reaching network of botanists, artists, politicians, and patricians. Banks’ career and…
Coming to terms with Captain Cook
Pepys Island as a Pacific stepping stone
This paper will investigate how geographic features were recorded on maps in the eighteenth century in order to outline the construction of geographic knowledge by British mapmakers. Due to practical and economic factors, early modern cartography was a conservative practice based on source compilation and comparison. For the Pacific region especially, the paucity of first-hand observations and the conflicting nature of those observations rendered…
Spaces of Global Knowledge
The Savant and the Engineer
Recent reassessments of the history of exploration have reflected on the terms “exploration” and “explorer.” While scholars identify the explorer as a nineteenth-century cultural phenomenon shaped in part by the production process of books and serialized media, this article argues that the discussion as to who was qualified to serve on long distance expeditions has earlier roots. Via case studies of two South Seas travel accounts, it shows how th…
