Our members study a wide range of fields of enquiry:  history, literature, language, geography, biography, ethnography, cultural studies, cartography, geology, astronomy, archaeology, bibliography, and maritime studies, among others.  We are interested in the processes and technologies used to undertake voyages of exploration, as well as the impact—contemporary and future—of the cultural exchanges and interactions that ensued, and how we study and document them.  A glance at some of the past issues of our journal, Terrae Incognitae, will provide a sense of the broad scope of our interests.
