DONATIONS
The Hakluyt Society gratefully acknowledges donors in 20062007 including donors to the American Friends of the Hakluyt Society
The inclusion here of a record of recent financial contributions to the work of the Society is an innovation which we trust members will approve. The need for such contributions has grown inexorably in recent years and Council has thought it right that the generosity of individuals and institutions in this respect should be acknowledged, not just in the relatively ephemeral Annual Report or Newsletter but in the more permanent form of the pages of our published volumes. Certainly, the Society s extremely grateful for the contributions and bequests it has received. These help to make possible the endeavour which Richard Hakluyt himself inspired, and which the Society has continued for 161 years the endeavour to record, to understand and to interpret the means by which, for better or worse, different regions and different peoples of the world have become connected with one another.
