Dear Colleagues,
I have just been reminded that the next LIBER Groupe des Cartothecaires conference is being held in Paris from 29 August-2 September (the current programme is at http://www.bnf.fr/pages/infopro/journeespro/pdf/jp_cartes.pdf) as well as the fact that - having taken over from Nick Millea as UK National Correspondent - I need to canvass lis-mappers for contributions towards the UK report for the 2004-2006 period.
The categories of information required are as follows:
a. Activities of national/regional map curators groups; (study-days, new projects, policy-statements etc.);
b. Education in mapcuratorship;
c. Automation of map-catalogues etc;
d. Acquisitions, collection development and exploitation;
e. New developments in electronic media/communications;
f. Conservation & Restoration;
g. Special developments (new positions, new employees, reorganisations etc.);
h. Conferences and symposia;
i. Exhibitions (name, dates, short contents, catalogue);
j. Publications (author, title, size, place of publication, publisher, year of publication).
Previous examples of national reports can be found at:

The previous UK national report is at:

Should you wish to make a contribution to the report (which will be delivered in Paris, then made available on the web), please email me with the necessary information before Friday 11 August.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
With many thanks,
