Martin Pratt has asked me to introduce myself, as a new member of this
listserv. I am the Geography Librarian at the University of Auckland
Library, with a general interest in boundaries. I am the joint author of a
book "Atlas of New Zealand Boundaries", which was published by Auckland
University Press in 1996. Although this atlas mapped mostly internal
boundaries, there was also a section on New Zealand's international
boundaries, including our territorial sea and exclusive economic zone.
Another map showed the boundaries of our overseas territories (Tokelau
Islands/American Samoa, and the Ross Dependency Antarctica).
At a more personal level, one of my hobbies is collecting postage stamps
that have maps as their design. Many of these include international
boundaries - some of the Latin American ones provide a fascinating picture
of conflicting territorial claims.
