The History of Cartography
Project</bigger></fontfamily></bold><fontfamily><param>Times</param><bigger>,
which is producing a six-volume series published by the University of
Chicago Press, invites proposals for research essays from scholars
interested in cartography in the twentieth century, an area that has
received comparatively little attention by historians of cartography.


With support from the National Science Foundation, the Project is
initiating work on Volume Six under the leadership of Mark Monmonier,
Distinguished Professor of Geography at Syracuse University. The grant
provides eleven research stipends, with which we hope to encourage
proven or promising scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds to
research the history of cartography in the twentieth century.
Participants are expected to attend a planning conference in June 2000,
prepare a major research paper, present their results at a symposium in
June 2002, and deliver copies of their research materials to the
Project. The papers will be published in a peer-reviewed journal during
2003 and will form a foundation for Volume Six itself, to which the
editors hope participants will contribute chapters or sections.


Participants will receive a research stipend of $10,000 as well as
travel support to the planning conference and symposium. The stipend
will be paid in installments and is contingent upon the participants
meeting stated deadlines. Further information can be obtained by
sending email to [log in to unmask] with "Vol 6 info request" in the
subject line.


The History of Cartography Project has been supported by the National
Endowment for the Humanities, the National Science Foundation, and
numerous private donors. General editorship is provided by David
Woodward, Arthur H. Robinson Professor of Geography at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison. Further information about the Project and the
four books published thus far is available at
