Colleagues
At the 1998 meeting of the LIBER, Groupe des Cartothécaires in Krakow
it was agreed that an effort would be made to place bibliographies on
the Web, in various European languages. The subjects mentioned were
the history of cartography, GIS, and map librarianship.
This message concerns the history of cartography element. On the 'Map
History' webpage, under 'Literature', there is a section entitled 'Books
to help get you into the subject':
<http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/maps/litgen.html>.
The titles are mostly in English. The LIBER GdC would like to see history
of cartography bibliographies in other European languages.
If you come from outside the English-speaking world, might you be
prepared to create such a bibliography of history of cartography
reference works, in your own language? If you did, you could either
add the page to your own site, or send it to Juerg Buehler, Chair of
the LIBER GdC Working Group for Education, who would mount it on the
GdC Webpage <http://www.maps.ethz.ch/gdc-education2.html>. Whichever
way it was done, it would then be linked into the 'Map History' site.
It would be useful if such a listing - whether of introductory texts
like mine or of recent literature in general - could be supplemented
by links to Web resources, e.g. encyclopedias. For an
English-language example of that, see:
<http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/maps/whatfind.html>
So far, there is a listing of 1997/98 Belgian literature (by Hossam
Elkhadem) and one of German literature (by Wolfgang Crom), mounted on
the GdC page:
<http://www.maps.ethz.ch/gdc-education2.html#belgium>
<http://www.maps.ethz.ch/gdc-education2.html#german>
and one of recent Hungarian titles (given in English) at:
<http://lazarus.elte.hu/gb/hunkarta/ica95/51.htm>
Can you help? If so, please contact me or Juerg Buehler. If you are
interested in preparing a GIS or map librarianship listing, please
contact Juerg <[log in to unmask]>.
