Historia
The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in London in 1826 as a nonprofit publication house to publish information to people who could not obtain formal teaching. Shortly after the group’s founding, a Map Committee was formed. Led by Captain Francis Beaufort, the esteemed Hydrographer of the Navy and expert in nautical charting, the mapping project of the SDUK began producing atlases arranged by country and region.
