The New England/St. Lawrence Valley Division (NESTVAL) of the American Association of Geographers represents geographers and geography departments in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island in the United States and Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland in Canada. All AAG members who reside in this region are automatically members of this group.
This group was established as the nation’s first regional professional geography organization. Beginning with the New England Geographical Conference at Clark University in 1922, this group supports regional geographers and promotes geography education and research.
The New England-St. Lawrence Valley Geographical Society contributes to the advancement of geography by holding a fall annual conference, publishing a peer-review professional journal, The Northeastern Geographer, and recognizing and supporting geography professionals and students through awards and annual activities.
