Abstract:
The current article presents all the founding members of the Bulgarian Geographic Society as well as the distribution of the job positions in the first Board of Trustees since 1918. Two documents have been published – a copy of the Founding protocol of the Bulgarian Geographic Society, 1918 and a list of the founding members. Each of the twenty-three founders of the political, cultural, scientific and economic elite of Bulgaria in the past was presented with brief biographical notes. These include the names of one general, two prime ministers, three ministers, four ambassadors, five rectors, six journalists, seven members of the parliament, eight academicians and correspondent-members and total of twelve professors. However, only three of them are professionally involved in geography – Prof. Zheko Radev, Zhecho Chankov and Ivan Pastuhov.
