Announcements about Imago Mundi
-------------------------------------
JSTOR will soon digitize and mount on their website <
http://www.jstor.org >
the complete run of Imago Mundi back issues from 1935 to 2002.
Once that operation has been completed, the back issues will be
available,
via library subscription, in a way that matches the online access to the
current journal. This will give academic users the chance to search,
and
make full use of, the wealth of articles and other material contained in
those 54 back issues and all forthcoming volumes.
This is a momentous development, and one directly attributable to the
high
standing in which the journal is now held. Congratulations to the
Editor
and all members of the editorial team for that.
At this stage, the precise timescale has not been notified to us but it
is
our understanding that JSTOR wish to proceed without much delay. There
will,
of course, be an announcement once Imago Mundi is available on the JSTOR
website.
We can also confirm that the 2003 volume (No. 55) has now been
published.
Copies will presumably be sent out shortly. When you see the volume,
what you will first notice is how little the appearance has changed.
The delay this year is directly attributable to various problems
encountered
in handing over the publication of Imago Mundi to Routledge Journals
(Taylor
& Francis). Despite that, the first of the future half-yearly issues
(due
for publication early in 2004) has gone off to press, on time. We do
not
anticipate a recurrence of the problems that delayed Vol. 55.
Imago Mundi Prize
-------------------
"It is with great pleasure that we announce the new biennial 'Imago
Mundi
Prize'. This will be awarded for the Imago Mundi article judged to have
made the most significant contribution to the discipline.
The Prize will be awarded for the first time in 2005 for the best
article to
have been published in the 2003 and 2004 issues (volume 55 and the
two-part
volume 56). The winner will receive $1000 and will automatically
qualify
for a J.B. Harley Travel Award to the next International Conference on
the
History of Cartography (Budapest, July 2005). The winner will also
receive
a certificate, which, if they are able to attend, will be presented to
them
at the conference.
Full articles will be eligible for the Prize, but not short articles,
since
it is only full length articles that are subject to the (anonymous)
refereeing process before acceptance for publication. Directors of
Imago
Mundi Ltd (who will take it in turns to serve on the panel of judges)
will
not be eligible.
His fellow Directors wish to give warm thanks to Kenneth Nebenzahl for
his
generous sponsorship of this Prize.
Board of Directors, Imago Mundi Ltd."
Tony Campbell
Chairman, Imago Mundi Ltd
