Rare, Antiquarian, or Just Plain Old:
Cataloging Pre-Twentieth Century Cartographic Resources

Did you miss MAGERT’s preconference on cataloging early maps and
atlases, which was held last June at the Library of Congress prior to
the Annual Library Association Conference in Washington, D.C.?

If the answer is yes, you will be glad to hear that the workbook used
in the preconference and issued to participants is now available for
purchase from MAGERT for $40.  The workbook includes illustrations
and cataloging examples taken from sheet maps, atlas plates and
atlases, focusing on early and pre-twentieth century cartographic
materials. Some of the areas covered by the workbook  include
elements of description, transcription, mathematical data and
supportive research.  The $40 price includes shipping and handling.

Orders should be sent to Jim Coombs, MAGERT Publications Distribution
