[posted to MapHist, lismaps, Liber GdC - please excuse duplication and pass on to others who might be interested] Once again, I am compiling a list of all the recently awarded doctorates that are in, or closely related to, the History of Cartography. This will be included in the 'Personal News' section of the next Imago Mundi 'Chronicle', to be published in July. As always, much of the information comes from ProQuest < http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations/gateway/main >. This, inevitably, means that many of the PhDs listed are from the US and Canada. The list that follows at the *end* of this message represents all those I know about at present. Please help me to make the listing more representative. I *know* there must have been other awards, particularly in Europe. Who do you know (or *think*) has been awarded a PhD in the past year or so? Please send me - in the next *few days* - the following information, or the email of the person concerned:- Full Names: University and department: Date awarded: Dissertation title: Publication details (if relevant): If you wonder if the information has already been recorded - and I am interested in *any* doctorates awarded from 1995 onwards - please look at the cumulative Doctorates page on 'Map History' < http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/maps/phd.html >. The latest names will be added to that page in the next week or so, once 'Chronicle' has been completed. I am also interested in anybody who is currently working towards a doctorate involving early maps. Please let me have details OFFLIST. Thank you. ***************************************** Tony Campbell 76 Ockendon Road London N1 3NW UK [log in to unmask] Tel: 020 7359 6477 International: +44 20 7359 6477 ****************************************** 'Map History / History of Cartography: THE Gateway to the Subject' http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/maps ----------------- Recent Doctorates ------------------- Where a UMI number is given, entering that into the 'Pub Number' search option on the UMI Proquest site gives access to a 24-page preview <http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations/gateway/main>.
