The Fordham Collection at The RGS: An Introduction

Abstract

Britain and various European countries. The true worth of the Collection to the geographer, however, is to be found in the holdings of British and French road-books of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. With publications such as Cary's New Itinerary and Paterson's Roads traced through successive editions and reprints, one is presented with a source which not only offers a store of information for charting and analysing the course of contemporary transport improvement, but one which in its very essence encapsulates that modernizing process.
