Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2003 23:58:00 +0100 From: "Bartlett, Darius" <[log in to unmask]> Dear Map folks In a moment of weakness, and definitely against my better judgement, I have agreed to take on the task of consultant map editor for a proposed new atlas project (The focus will be historical and thematic cartography, more details will be available later, once the project gets under way). I have edited written texts before, but this is the first time I have ever contemplated editing a (carto)graphic collection, such as an atlas. I wondered if anyone out there might know of a good source of guidance, best practice, checklists of things to keep in mind, and/or any other similar reference or "how to" materials that would help me do a decent job of it? Many thanks! Darius From: "Bartlett, Darius" <[log in to unmask]>
