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.
