Dear colleagues
You may be aware that every 4 years the UK Cartographic Committee is
tasked with compiling a National Report for the International
Cartographic Association (ICA). I have been tasked with co-ordinating
the Map Library contribution.
The National Report will be distributed to attendees at the
International Cartographic Conference in Rio de Janeiro in August 2015
http://www.icc2015.org/, so this is your chance to advertise yourselves
to a global audience!
The Report is a summary of all that has happened in cartography - and in
your library - over the past 4 years, as well as plans for the next 4.
It cannot be compiled without input from colleagues round the county -
i.e. you!
The full invitation is copied below but the key points are:
- contributions should be sent to me by **2 March**
- they should be 300-500 words long
- they can include a picture
The last report was published in 'The Cartographic Journal', volume 48,
no. 3, August 2011. I can send a pdf if you do not have your own or an
institutional subscription.
Please feel free to pass this email on.
(Contributions from map makers and industry should be sent to Howard
Hudson at: [log in to unmask] though I will, of course, pass
on any information I receive).
Many thanks
Anne

Invitation to Submit Information to the UK National report
8th Feburary 2015
UK National Report to the International Cartographic Association 2015
As one of the many organisations that make up the UK mapping community,
I am seeking your contribution to the UK’s four yearly report to the
International Cartographic Association (ICA), to be published at the
conference in Rio de Janeiro in August 2015.
The report will be published as a Special Edition of The Cartographic
Journal. It will have a section of introductory essays reflecting
current UK issues as well as the usual summary of activities from each
governmental, commercial and academic institution involved in mapping in
the UK. This is an ideal opportunity to promote your organisation to the
UK and international community. The last report was published in The
Cartographic Journal, volume 48, no. 3, August 2011.
We would like you to contribute a short statement about your
organisation, covering its principle activities in the mapping field,
what it has achieved over the last four years and plans for the next
four years. The statement should be 300-500 words long and you may
include a single colour image of a product, map or database that you
have published or worked on during that time, and a company logo.
Please make sure the statement is not overtly a marketing piece, but do
include information on products, brands, etc. Please include your full
contact details at the top of your submission as this will be published.
Illustrations should normally fit the Journal column width (85mm), but
exceptionally illustrations up to 175 * 120mm may be accepted. Logos
should fit within a space of 80*20mm or 40*40mm. They should be
submitted as eps, tiff or jpeg format at 300dpi resolution.
The deadline for submission of the statement is 2nd March 2015.
All the contributions will be subject to review by the editorial team
for this Cartographic Journal issue and any comments they may have will
be discussed with you.
The report will be published by Maney, the commercial publishers of the
Cartographic Journal. They will be sourcing advertising for the
publication and your organisation may be interested in this opportunity.
Maney will contact you directly.
Please supply your statement as an email attachment to Anne Taylor at

Thank you in advance for your support; we plan to make the publication a
comprehensive record of the state of UK mapping.
Best wishes,
David Forrest, Chair, UK Committee for Cartography
