Series: 8. History of American Geography and the AAG, 1918-1990
Scope and Content Note: Archival materials for the history of American geography or that of the AAG are sparse (see also some early meeting programs, administrative records, and member files). Included here are materials relating to the American Society of Professional Geographers, its eventual merger with the AAG, and other rump associations (e.g., "The Washington Geographers Club"), mostly in the form of correspondence and newsletters. The issue of departmental demise is also scattered throughout the series. See also files of the Archives and Association History Committee (Series #4).
