In 1921, the Society was founded initially as a group for elite travelers "working to diffuse our geographic knowledge and conserve the heritage of Lugida". Its founders are mainly composed of archaeologists, biologists, environmentalists, and elite academics. Governing the Society are the 25 members of the Board of Trustees.
History
Pairo began in 1916 as a private club for an elite group of explorers and merchants at the time, who seek interest in diffusion of geographical knowledge among members and conservation of traditional Lugid and Forian cultures, amidst the ongoing industrialization seen by the members overall as "endangering the heritage". Reth Hephilam provided initial funding for exploration and promotion from his father Aron, who works as a merchant in Natlia.
Following years of planning and funding, Reth Hephilam incorporated the club in 1921 into an organization, placing himself as the first president. Including him, the 21 club members became the Founders and the earliest Board of Trustees members. Incorporation enabled Pairo to receive increased funding and subsequently fund much larger scientific explorations. In 1930 the first issue of Pairo Magazine was released with minor success. The organization suspended activity in 1945 due to Pangyeoun and resumed operations in 1952.
Earlier in January, a Board of Trustee member Mose Kham devised the concept of using photographs in magazines for storytelling, a concept that led the Society into public fame in 1956 with the sales of its July issue reaching record levels. Subsequent significant increase in received donations to the Society enabled it to expand its operations and explorations outside Lugida, marked by the release of its first international issue a year later.
