Dear Colleagues,
A letter has just arrived from the Research Support Libraries Programme,
confirming that our retrospective conversion proposal, "Mapping the World",
to which I alluded at Glasgow at the Map Curators' Group Workshop has been
approved for funding.
The project will commence as soon as possible, running until 31 July 2002,
and will involve targeted retrospective conversion of catalogue
cards for post-1850 overseas mapping in seven institutions: namely the
Universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, Edinburgh, London (Imperial College
and Senate House), Manchester and Oxford.
More details will be announced on lis-maps in due course.
With best wishes,
Nick
