The Map Curators’ Group (MCG) of the British Cartographic Society will hold its Annual Workshop in person at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge on Wednesday 20th September 2023. 







The Map Curators’ Group is for anyone interested in using and sharing maps, bound together by a shared interest in curating, maintaining, and sharing our map collections. Our annual workshops offer the opportunity to share expertise and learn from each other. This workshop is part of the British Cartographic Society’s 60th anniversary conference.







The MCG workshop theme will be: Exploring Maps.







We are calling for proposals for presentations to be given at the Workshop, on the following themes: 



  *   Maps for expedition planning

  *   Maps depicting exploration

  *   Decolonising our map collections

  *   Placenames and subject headings

  *   Exploring new ways of using or presenting maps

  *   Any other subject on the theme of Exploring Maps







Speakers will receive free registration to the Workshop.



Generally, presentations should last 25 minutes.



We will ask for a short summary to be shared in our newsletter Cartographiti.







Please contact the MCG Convener Paula Williams with your proposal for consideration by 24th March 2023.
