Boletín de la Real Sociedad Geográfica

The Boletín de la Real Sociedad Geográfica (BRSG) is the flagship scholarly publication of the Real Sociedad Geográfica (Royal Geographical Society of Spain). First issued in 1876, it has appeared without interruption except for a three-year hiatus during the Spanish Civil War. The journal serves as a platform for geography, history, and related disciplines, featuring contributions from many of Spain's most distinguished scholars and public figures, including Cánovas del Castillo, Joaquín Costa, Lucas Mallada, Beltrán y Rózpide, Suárez Inclán, Gregorio Marañón, Torroja y Miret, Puyol Antolín, Núñez de las Cuevas, and Velarde Fuertes. Over its long history, the BRSG has coexisted with other periodicals of similar scope, such as the Revista de la Sociedad de Geografía Comercial (1885–1896) and the Revista de Geografía Colonial y Mercantil (1897–1924). In addition to the journal, the Society has published works by notable authors including J. Gatell, M. Foronda y Aguilera, R. Torres Campo, A. Blázquez, C. Fernández Duro, J. M. Torroja y Miret, A. Saboya-Aosta, the Prince of Monaco, J. Gavira, and C. Sanz. Today, the BRSG is indexed in several prestigious databases, including PIO (Periodical Index Online), CARHUS PLUS+ 2014, C.I.R.C., EC3metrics, MIAR 2016, ISON, Latindex, and Dialnet. The editorial board is led by Director Antonio Zárate Martín and Secretary Fernando Arroyo Ilera, with board members Joaquín Bosque Sendra, Concepción Camarero Bullón, María Luisa de Lázaro y Torres, Alejandro García Ferrero, and María Asunción Martín Lou. The Boletín remains a vital resource for geographical research and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Real Sociedad Geográfica.

The Boletín de la Real Sociedad Geográfica was established in 1876 by the Real Sociedad Geográfica, Spain's royal geographical society. Since its inception, it has been published continuously, with the only interruption occurring during the three years of the Spanish Civil War. The journal quickly became a leading outlet for geographical scholarship in Spain, attracting contributions from prominent geographers, historians, and other professionals. In its early decades, it coexisted with other periodicals of similar character, such as the Revista de la Sociedad de Geografía Comercial (1885–1896) and the Revista de Geografía Colonial y Mercantil (1897–1924). Alongside the Boletín, the Society also published standalone works by significant authors, including J. Gatell, M. Foronda y Aguilera, R. Torres Campo, A. Blázquez, C. Fernández Duro, J. M. Torroja y Miret, A. Saboya-Aosta, the Prince of Monaco, J. Gavira, and C. Sanz. Over the 20th and 21st centuries, the BRSG adapted to changing academic standards and is now indexed in numerous databases, including PIO (Periodical Index Online), CARHUS PLUS+ 2014, C.I.R.C., EC3metrics, MIAR 2016, ISON, Latindex, and Dialnet. The editorial board has included many respected scholars, with the current director being Antonio Zárate Martín and the secretary Fernando Arroyo Ilera.
