Asking forgiveness in advance if the following is
inappropriate for this list.

WANTED: Ladies and Gentlemen interested in the birth of The
Carolina Map Society. An organizational meeting is not yet
scheduled, but hopefully will be in the near future.

The Carolina Map Society will be founded for the proposed
purpose of education of its members and the general public
on historic/modern maps and cartography. Membership will be
open to anyone with an interest in historic/modern maps and
cartography, including map collectors, cartographers,
historians, art historians, geographers, map librarians,
map dealers, map printers, "cartophiles" not otherwise
included in the above, and anyone else with similar
interests.

The Society will be based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I
would like to have Society meetings on Saturday so that
persons from outside the immediate vicinity can attend, but
that will certainly be at the discretion of the membership
once this project gets off the ground. If you have an
interest in participating in the founding of The Carolina
Map Society, email Jay at [log in to unmask]
If you do not have an interest in the founding of the
Society, but would be interested in membership afterwards,
please let me know that also.

Thanks.
