The International Society for the History of the Map is a new scholarly
society in the field. Given that there is no such organization we need
it. What
we propose is a new, independent, international and interdisciplinary
learned society,
open to anyone.
The full report on the ISHM Open Forum, held at the ICHC in Moscow on
July 11,
2011 has been published and available to anyone interested in the new
society
and would like to learn more about the project.
