HISTORICAL NOTE
The Pacific Geographic Society was founded in 1926 by Humphrey Read, to be reorganized in 1929 by the president, Walter Gordon
Clark, and other officers.
According to the articles of incorporation (July 9, 1929) the following is an outline of the purposes and objectives of the
Society:
a) for educational and scientific research pertaining to boundaries of the Pacific Ocean,
b) to promote interests of states and countries bordering on the Pacific Ocean through co-operative membership in education
and scientific research,
c) to give publicity to states and countries bordering on the Pacific Ocean, that a better understanding of statehood and
citizenship may be realized,
d) to enlighten the world through the publications by members of this corporation,
e) to build, construct, purchase, lease, equip, or otherwise acquire.
Los Angeles served as the center and principal area of business for the enterprise. The corporation there was to "exist fifty
years from and after the date of incorporation." In 1932-33 the Globe-Trotter Series of illustrated (motion picture) lectures
was initiated, an activity which provided the major source of income of the Society.
Other activities included dinner meetings, often with entertainment for regents, etc., special dinners and receptions, exhibits
in libraries and bookstores, selected tours (group and individual) to Mexico, South America, New Zealand and Hawaii. Mrs.
Hughes (secretary and manager after the death of Mr. Palmer) often acted as a local booking agent for a number of lecturers,
while the Society arranged programs for public schools and libraries, colleges and universities, and other interested organizations.
Several attempts were made to publish a magazine in conjunction with the Society, with no degree of success. A Bulletin and
a Newsletter were circulated periodically but the
Pacific Geographic Magazine and its successor,
Pacific Horizons, began and concluded with Volume I, Number 1.
In 1936 a moratorium agreement with major creditors was effected and the Society is believed to have disbanded in 1940-4l.
