This is my annual request for information that might be relevant for the 'Chronicle' section in Imago Mundi: the International Journal for the History of Cartography. Please send me any information that you think *might* be of interest to an international audience. It should be news relating to the past twelve months [though I can store future details for use next year] and it should be of direct concern to the history of cartography. I should already have all news contained in MapHist and lismaps messages. We are seeking information relating to the following headings: 1. Personal News - deaths, significant appointments, prizes & awards, research fellowships, and doctorates 2. Conferences & Meetings [obviously I use John Docktor's listing < http://www.docktor.com/ > but there are always some events that are never publicised] 3. Institutional & General News 4. Exhibitions [again, I use John Docktor's listing < http://www.docktor.com/ >] 5. Notable Acquisitions by institutions, "featuring only collections, manuscript material, and rare or bibliographically important printed atlases, maps, charts and globes". 6. Unusual items that have come up for sale. [This section is compiled by Ashley Baynton-Williams < [log in to unmask] >. Please send information directly to him]. For further details and sample entries, please see < http://www.maphistory.info/chronicleletter.html >. 'Chronicle' is the official record of what has happened in our field over the previous year. Its completeness depends, to a considerable extent, on what is supplied by others. If you have any information that you think might be relevant, please send it to me, and I can decide if it is appropriate or not. Do not worry if you think I may already have the information. It is better if details are sent to me four times than not at all. Information about publications, for the Bibliography, should be sent, please, to Nick Millea, Map Room, Bodleian Library, Broad Street, Oxford, OX1 3BG, UK - < [log in to unmask] >. This message is also a reminder to the few National Representatives of Imago Mundi who are, as we speak, busily completing their contributions. To meet this year's deadline, I need information please *as soon as possible*. Thank you.
