The Oxus Expedition: Source to Sea
The history of exploring the Oxus, and of the Oxus Expedition, is integrally linked with the Royal Society for Asian Affairs, an organisation founded in 1901 as the Central Asia Society. It is therefore a great source of pride and pleasure that Charlie Portlock, Editor of the RSAA’s magazine, Caravanserai, invited Sophia Burna-Asefi to write an article about our expedition plans. The article was published in Caravanserai Issue 3, the theme of which was rivers; and Sophia’s article was accompanied by materials from the RSAA’s own archive and a short commentary about Angus Hamilton’s early 20th century expedition, which he presented to the Society in April 1906.
