hakluyt society for voyages of discovery history of maritime exploration history of navigation historical travel accounts since its foundation in 1846 the hakluyt society has published scholarly editions of primary records of voyages and travels hakluyt society books are often real life adventure stories in the field of exploration navigation voyages of discovery and historical travel accounts these volumes are scholarly page turners fully annotated with fascinating details of tall ships remote lands newly sighted plant and animal species and peoples rarely visited at the time often the first descriptions of these distant cultures with over 380 volumes published this remains our principal activity while we now extend our work to an online journal conferences lectures and the award of grants and prizes the volumes which are distributed to current members are illustrated with maps and plates and are widely prized for their standards of scholarship and book production for members they are incredibly good value for money compared with commercial prices the society welcomes proposals from potential editors of texts for publication the society is proud of the diversity of its publications which include different types of travel accounts and cover almost all parts of the world as well as records of voyages we especially seek travel accounts which have been under represented in our publications including texts written by women and by non europeans and texts which document the experiences of indigenous peoples the text has to be interesting to read and intrinsically important documenting an achievement in the description and understanding of the world and its peoples or an historically politically economically or culturally significant encounter

the incas for more than 150 years the hakluyt society s many publications the texts carefully edited according to modern principles and accompanied by informative maps charts and illustrations have
