In 1964, the librarian of the RGS, G R Crone wrote a chronology of geography in the 20th Century with some excellent details on the development of the subject, and prominent mentions for quite a few former GA Presidents.
There are references to many GA Presidents and their contributions, including Herbertson and Mill, Steers, Stamp and Roxby.
Also some familiar diagrams on the development of the region, and some images of people from the time.
Well worth a read.
