Expeditions Society
expeditions since 1904
Founded in 1904, Cambridge University (CU) expedition records span most of the 20th century and the Society's book-keeping hasn't been entirely consistent! Expedition reports, administrative notes and letters of correspondence that associate with the CU Expeditions Society, or as it was formally known, the CU Explorers' and Travellers' Club, have been identified in repositories across the South East. There are ongoing efforts to catalogue and centralise these records for online public access.

Repositories of Cambridge expedition records today include:
The Cambridge University Library, 1954 - 1995
The Royal Geographical Society's expedition database, 1951 - 1999
The National Archives
The Wellcome Collection
The Churchill Archives Centre
The Natural History Museum
