RGS-IBG最近成功地获得了开发该学会档案的资金，这为那些对地理知识和地理学历史感兴趣的人提供了一个机会，作为一门学科，他们可能会反思由学术部门组成的“地理档案”的性质。借鉴德里达和福柯的著作，本文首先考察了什么是档案馆，它做什么。其次，本文提出的问题的过程中归档和实践中的档案，使用一个研究项目的历史上的学科地理在作者的大学部门的例子。最后，本文呼吁更广泛的集体关注的性质，“地理档案”在机构的教学和研究地理在英国。
The recent success of the RGS–IBG in securing funds to develop the Society’s archives provides a moment in which those interested in the history of geographical knowledge and of geography as an academic discipline might reflect on the nature of ‘the geographical archive’ that is constituted in and by the academic department. Drawing, in part, upon the work of Derrida and of Foucault, the paper firstly examines what an archive is and what it does. Secondly, the paper raises questions about the process of archiving and the practices of being in the archive, using the example of a research project on the history of disciplinary geography in the author’s university department. In conclusion, the paper calls for wider collective attention to the nature of ‘the geographical archive’ in institutions teaching and researching geography in the UK.
