22ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF CARTOGRAPHY
Berne, Switzerland
8-13 July 2007


This biennial meeting is the major international scholarly conference
dedicated to advancing knowledge of the history of cartography, of maps and
mapmaking, broadly defined. The conference promotes global cooperation and
collaboration among scholars (from any academic discipline), curators,
collectors, dealers and institutions, through illustrated talks, poster
presentations, exhibitions, and a social programme.

The first aim of the conference is to foster discussion on the history of
cartography in general, not necessarily the history of single maps. The
presentations should be focused on the history of cartography and only deal
with historical geography or the history of discoveries on the margins.
Contributions on a topic from specialists in disciplines such as geodesy,
tourism studies, linguistics, history of science, art history, etc., are
very welcome.

The venue will be the Conference Centre of the recently renovated
UniS-Building of the University in Berne, which is well equipped with modern
presentation facilities.

The conference languages are English, German and French. Papers should
preferably be given in English to reach the widest possible audience.

The conference themes are:

Mapping Relief
Maps and Tourism
Language and Maps
Time as the Cartographic Fourth Dimension
Any other aspect of the history of cartography

*****************************************
Call for Papers and Posters deadline: 1 October 2006
*****************************************

During the conference week, several exhibitions with a cartographic focus
will take place in the city of Berne: in the Swiss Alpine Museum, the Swiss
National Library, the Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek Bern (with
Burgerbibliothek Bern).  There will also be a series of professional visits
(to the Federal Office of Topography and to the Staatsarchiv des Kantons
Bern) as well as post-conference tours.  Details can be found on the
conference website.
