- encourage and assist in the publication of the results of such work
- provide a meeting place for discussion groups, the reading of papers and social activities
- make provision for the retention of field records, diaries and other relevant documents
- cooperate with persons or organisations having interests similar to those of VORG
- coordinate the activities of groups engaged in work consistent with the above objects
Current projects include
