I have been sent the following: the usual apologies for cross-posting and to those of you who have seen this before:
[STARTS]
Two New Initiatives to Promote Communication among Everyone Interested in Early Maps
ISHMap-List – a new listserv for all things about map history
The International Society for the History of the Map has just launched a new listserv to fulfill the function of the greatly lamented maphist listserv that Peter van der Krogt initiated and maintained until December 2011. As with the maphistlisterv, all postings are delivered directly into your email inbox; you can choose whether to receive each posting individually or to receive groups of postings in a single “digest.”
You do not need to be a member of ISHMap to subscribe and comment to the new listserv.
To subscribe the new listserv, “ISHMap-List,” simply point your web browser to
http://ishm.elte.hu/?q=node/21
and provide your email address and name. You may unsubscribed at any time.
Map History Directory
Imago Mundi Ltd. has launched a new, online directory of researchers interested in any aspect of map history. Map historians can provide information about their research and programmatic activities, as well as details of how others might contact them. Each entry can be as sparse or as full as individuals wish. The directory has been created on behalf of Imago Mundi by the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education at the University of Southern Maine. To browse or search the directory and to add your own information, simply point your web browser to
http://www.maphistorydirectory.org/
