This is a reminder that  3rd International Symposium of the ICA Commission
on the History of Cartography will take place at the University of Texas in
Arlington, USA, from 10-13 October 2010.   The deadline for abstracts is 14
March 2010. The Symposium will be held in conjunction with

*    the 7th Biennial Virginia Garrett Lectures on the History of
Cartography (Friday, 8 October 2010);
*   the Fall Meeting of the Texas Map Society (Saturday, 9 October 2010);
*    a Special Map Exhibition in the gallery of Special Collections of the
University of Texas at Arlington;
*   a meeting of the ICA Commission on Maps and Society, and
*    technical and social excursions.
A special session of the Symposium will be taken up by
*   delegates from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) which
celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2009.

The overall theme of the Garrett lectures and the Symposium  is  "Charting
the Cartography of Chartered Companies".  Although  the ICA Commission
encourages paper submissions adhering to the main theme, the conference
organisers would also welcome  abstracts on any other cartographical
activity of either a topographical or thematic nature undertaken since the
mid-18th century.
Information as regards  abstracts, registration, transport, accommodation
and excursions appears on our website www.icahistcarto.org
