This is my annual request for information that might be relevant for the
'Chronicle' section in Imago Mundi: the International Journal for the
History of Cartography.
Please send me any information that you think *might* be of interest to an
international audience. It should be news relating to the past twelve
months [though I can store future details for use next year] and it should
be of direct concern to the history of cartography. I should already have
all news contained in MapHist and lismaps messages.
We are looking for the following:-
1. Personal News - deaths, significant appointments, prizes & awards,
research fellowships, and doctorates [see a cumulative listing of past
doctorates, and for the style of the individual entries, at <
http://www.maphistory.info/phd.html >]
2. Conferences & Meetings
3. Institutional & General News. You can see a sample from a previous year's
volume, which will indicate the kinds of relevant material, at <
http://www.maphistory.info/gennews53.html >.
4. Exhibitions [obviously I use John Docktor's listing <
http://www.docktor.com/ > but there are always some exhibits that are never
publicised]
5. Notable Acquisitions by institutions, "featuring only collections,
manuscript material, and rare or bibliographically important printed
atlases, maps, charts and globes".
6. Unusual items that have come up for sale. [This section is now being
compiled by Ashley Baynton-Williams < [log in to unmask] >].
'Chronicle' is the official record of what has happened in our field over
the previous year. Its completeness depends, to a considerable extent, on
what is sent in. If you have any information that you think might be
relevant, please send it to me, and I can decide if it is appropriate or
not.
To meet this year's deadline, I need information please as soon as possible.
Thank you.
