TONY CAMPBELL AWARD WINNER FOR YEAR 2000

Winner of this year's International Map Collectors' Society Award to
"the individual who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, has
been responsible for the cartographic contribution of greatest merit
and widest interest to map collectors worldwide" was Tony Campbell, Map
Librarian of The British Library, London.

Reading the citation at the IMCoS dinner held earlier this month
Valerie Scott, Vice-chairman of IMCoS and Chairman of the Selection
Committee, said that  "he is known universally for his work on maps
both through his job, the books and articles he has written, and the
associations he has supported. His entire career has been involved with
early maps and their history and with encouraging others to work in the
same field."

The presentation of a silver salver and a cheque was made by Chairman
of IMCos, Jenny Harvey.

The full citation will be available in all journals relating to the
history of cartography.
