Centenary bibliography of papers published in the journals of the Geographical Society of Finland, by topic, 1888-1987

Abstract

This bibliography lists by topic all the papers published in the journals of the Geographical Society of Finland and the Finnish Geographical Association, which was merged with it in 1921, over the hundred years that have elapsed since the founding of the two bodies in 1888. It does not include separate publications by the Society such as atlases and handbooks. The journals in question are FEN­NIA, ACTA GEOGRAPHICA, GEOGRAFISKA FORENINGENS TIDS­KRIFT, TERRA and MEDDELANDEN AF GEOGRAFISKA FORENINGEN 1 FINLAND. The classification into topics follows that used in the authors ear­lier work >>Trends in Finnish Geography in 1920‑1979 in the Light of the Jour­nals of the Period>>, published in Fennia, vol. 160, in 1982. The introduction con­tains an explanation of the classification system and other background factors. It is emphasized that this bibliography does not cover all the geographical jour­nals published in Finland, nor by any means the whole Finnish geographical litera­ture.
