Hidden but not forgotten

Published to coincide with a new RGS-IBG project and exhibition, Hidden Histories, this selection of archive images celebrates the role local people played in the history of exploration
Local people often played a pivotal role in exploratory expeditions, but their contributions haven’t always been recognised. Hidden Histories, a new project and exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) , aims to piece together the stories of these unsung heroes and celebrate their expertise.
