Inspiring curiosity
across the globe

Established by our founder Sir Evelyn Wrench in 1915, Overseas is the quarterly membership journal for the Royal Over-Seas League.

The journal is a key method of communication with our global membership; connecting and inspiring with a range of thought-provoking, non-partisan editorial, while also updating members on news and events from the Club itself. Overseas reflects the international outlook and geography of its worldwide readership.

Current issue & archive

Overseas is published quarterly in March, June, September and December and is available online and from the clubhouse. Recent issues have covered topics such as philanthropy, language, the arts, the Commonwealth, and the natural world among others.

Members can also exclusively access our extensive archive dating back to 2012.
