The GA has a long track record of running successful curriculum and pedagogic projects that develop new practices and ideas in geography teaching. GA projects have often been run in partnership with other organisations. Our project archive contains details of completed projects, alongside a wealth of information, ideas and teaching resources, many of which remain relevant today.

GA projects pre-2003
Although digital records and materials are not readily available, the GA led and managed a wide range of projects prior to 2003. Notable amongst these were:
- Coastline 2000, in which schools collected data on stretches of the UK coastline (2000)
- Land Use UK, in which the GA mobilised 1500 schools and 50,000 people to survey local land use (1996)
- National Education Resources Information (NERIS), funded by the Department of Trade and Industry and operated by the GA to review remotely accessed educational resources (1989)
- Second Land Utilisation Survey launched by Alice Coleman (1960)
- Morphological survey of Great Britain (1958)
- Land Utilisation Survey of Britain, undertaken by the GA, led by Professor Sir L. Dudley Stamp, the Ordnance Survey and the Ministry of Agriculture (1930)
Records of many of these projects are held in a physical archive, located at GA headquarters.
