Dear colleagues
I am delighted to say that the Map Curators' Toolbox is now back online
after a short hiatus. See
http://www.cartography.org.uk/about/special-interest-groups/mcg/toolbox-index/
This online resource for map curators, librarians and archivists is
sponsored by the Map Curators' Group of the British Cartographic
Society. It aims to provide a starting point for anyone searching for
information on maps and map curatorship - how to acquire, store,
conserve, catalogue, date, interpret ... maps. If you know of a key
resource that is not included, please let me know.
In particular, I'd be pleased to hear about suppliers of plan chests not
already included in the Furniture section of our 'Equipment and
Supplies' page:
http://www.cartography.org.uk/about/special-interest-groups/mcg/toolbox-index/toolbox-6-equipment-and-supplies/
Unfortunately the UK Directory of Map Collections is not yet available
though we are working hard to restore service. It is temporarily still
available at http://stage20.pindarcreative.co.uk/default.asp?contentID=705
