The Society was founded in 1884, stimulated by the commercial opportunities being created by the `opening up' of Africa. It has organised a lecture series throughout its history with many eminent explorers, scientists and philanthropists of the day. Its Journal began publication in 1885. The first issue included an article by H M Stanley. It ceased publication in 1960.
