The Objects of the Society are to promote the science and study of geography, to assist in geographical exploration, to provide its members with a well-selected library of works on geography, to provide for lectures by prominent geographers, to enable the members to give each other the benefits derived by travel at home and abroad, and to publish a Bulletin containing carefully selected geographical literature.

The Meetings of the Society are monthly and bi-monthly.
