Minutes of the last meeting:

Map Curators' Business Meeting Thursday 9 and Friday 10 
September 1999

Due to the busy symposium schedule the meeting was divided 
between two slots.  

1)   Apologies from: Wendy Cawthorne, Bob McIntosh, Richard 
Oliver.

2)   Report on International Cartographic Association 
meeting in Ottawa.  April Carlucci mentioned the session 
given by the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and 
Archives (ACMLA) in which the Congress of Cartographic 
Information Specialist Associations (CCISA) was discussed 
as an umbrella organisation that might combat the 
fragmentation of the profession, as perceived in north 
America.  April noted that it was heartening to see people 
everywhere having the same problems.  A full report will 
appear in the next edition of Cartographiti.

3)   Report on Co-operative Cataloguing in the UK 
Nick Millea noted that there had been some discussion 
between the legal deposit libraries at a meeting held last 
May.  Developments had been delayed while the National 
Library Scotland replaced its catalogue system.  It was 
confirmed that the records generated should be available to 
all the library community.  There had also been two 
Research Support Libraries Programme (RSLP) bids of 
interest: a Scottish one called charting the Nation; and 
'Mapping the World' which concerns the retro-conversion of 
the catalogue records of seven collections.  This latter 
project had been initially unsuccessful, but was being 
resubmitted.

4)   LIBER web site
Chris Fleet reminded people of the LIBER web site which 
includes many useful references for map 
curators: http://www.konbib.nl/kb/skd/liber/intro.htm#

5)   Outreach to other Map Curators
Concern was expressed at the small number of Map Curators 
attending the Map Curators Workshop (attendance consisted 
mainly of people from the legal deposit libraries and the 
military survey).  Where, it was asked, were all the 
university, local government and museum map curators?  The 
expense and difficulty of an event spread over two days was 
mentioned which lead to the suggestion of occasional 
regional meetings taking place, probably over an afternoon 
and organised by a regional representative.  The lack of 
awareness of the MCG was considered a problem.  It was 
suggested that Cartographiti and lis-maps should advertise 
each other.  The web page had not been updated for a while 
and Barbara Morris volunteered to assist with html editing, 
but would require others to provide her with copy. It was 
considered that the Library Association should be sent a 
copy of our report.  An edition of Cartographiti would be 
devoted to the Map Curators Workshop and an extra large 
print run would be used as publicity material with copies 
being sent to those UK map collections who did not all 
ready receive it.  It was suggested that perhaps the MCG 
should seek a higher profile in institutions that taught 
librarianship.  John McIlwaine(UCL) and Al Roberts 
(Aberystwyth) were suggested as people to approach 
initially.

6)   Training in the  use of digital spatial data
The Digimap project would be holding various training 
sessions in the coming months, however these were only 
available to UK Higher Education as is Digimap itself.  For 
more information on Digimap see: 
http://edina.ac.uk/digimap/

7)   Any Other Business 
Chris Fleet announced that LIBER was creating a Who's Whom 
of Map Curating to aid communication between map curators 
and identify areas of expertise that they were each willing 
to share.  Questionnaires for this were available on the 
web and it would also be plugged on lis-maps.  

Chris Board announced that the Charles Close Society for 
the Study of Ordnance Survey Maps had received a legacy 
with which it was proposing to make copies of maps from 
collections that were in danger.  

Ann Sutherland thanked Margaret Wilkes for her help with 
the display on the MCG board and congratulated Chris Board 
and Roger Anson on their being made Hon. Fellows of the 
ICA.  It was noted that the former was now chairing the ICA 
committee on the History of Cartography.
