HISTORICAL CARTOGRAPHY
Research Assistant required in or near Oxford to help in the
preparation of the interpretive maps for the Historic Towns Atlas of
Winchester, by Martin Biddle and Derek Keene. The maps are being
produced by the cartographic firm of Lovell Johns Ltd for publication

The work will involve preparing draft maps of successive stages in the
development of Winchester from the prehistoric and Roman periods to
the 19th century for submission to Lovell Johns. The person appointed
will work under the supervision of the authors, and will use a variety
of cartographic and non-cartographic sources.
Applicants should have a solid knowledge of the principles and methods of
historical cartography and of computerised map-making. The work is expected to last
about three months. Remuneration and terms by agreement.
Applications by 15 January 2005 to Professor Martin Biddle, Hertford College,
