Dear All

 

Can anybody help me. We are researching the history of quantitative geography in the UK and longing to find some early archival material – such as early QMRG membership lists and even a list of those who attended the inaugural meeting convened by Barry Garner at Leeds in 1964. Does anybody have access to such – or know where they might be tracked down?

 

Thanks

 

RON
