yesterday that it is to award the Fordham prize to Dr Catherine
Delano-Smith, for distinguished contributions to the field of cartography.

Dr Delano-Smith has facilitated and promoted cartography and**the
history of cartography across nearly five decades through her own
research and teaching**and, especially, her editing and seminar
organisation.  Since 1994 Dr Delano-Smith has edited /Imago Mundi
<http://www.maphistory.info/imago.html>/, the only international
scholarly journal in map history.  She has created, convened and chaired
the 'Maps and Society <http://www.maphistory.info/warburgprog.html>'
series of monthly lectures at the Warburg Institute, School of Advanced
Study London, now in their twenty-second annual season, more than 130
meetings.  Dr Delano-Smith was instrumental in founding the Harley Trust
<http://www.maphistory.info/harley.html> for international fellowships
in the history of cartography in 1992 and remains one of its most active
members. She was also recently a founding trustee for the new
International Society for the History of the Map <http://ishm.elte.hu/>.
Her own academic work, while rooted in the medieval field, has ranged to
consider many other ground-breaking aspects of all periods and facets of
this history of cartography.
