-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Imago Mundi - latest developments Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2003 15:12:40 +0100 From: "tony campbell" <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ Announcements about Imago Mundi ------------------------------------- JSTOR will soon digitize and mount on their website < http://www.jstor.org > the complete run of Imago Mundi back issues from 1935 to 2002. Once that operation has been completed, the back issues will be available, via library subscription, in a way that matches the online access to the current journal. This will give academic users the chance to search, and make full use of, the wealth of articles and other material contained in those 54 back issues and all forthcoming volumes. This is a momentous development, and one directly attributable to the high standing in which the journal is now held. Congratulations to the Editor and all members of the editorial team for that. At this stage, the precise timescale has not been notified to us but it is our understanding that JSTOR wish to proceed without much delay. There will, of course, be an announcement once Imago Mundi is available on the JSTOR website. We can also confirm that the 2003 volume (No. 55) has now been published. Copies will presumably be sent out shortly. When you see the volume, what you will first notice is how little the appearance has changed. The delay this year is directly attributable to various problems encountered in handing over the publication of Imago Mundi to Routledge Journals (Taylor & Francis). Despite that, the first of the future half-yearly issues (due for publication early in 2004) has gone off to press, on time. We do not anticipate a recurrence of the problems that delayed Vol. 55. Imago Mundi Prize ------------------- "It is with great pleasure that we announce the new biennial 'Imago Mundi Prize'. This will be awarded for the Imago Mundi article judged to have made the most significant contribution to the discipline. The Prize will be awarded for the first time in 2005 for the best article to have been published in the 2003 and 2004 issues (volume 55 and the two-part volume 56). The winner will receive $1000 and will automatically qualify for a J.B. Harley Travel Award to the next International Conference on the History of Cartography (Budapest, July 2005). The winner will also receive a certificate, which, if they are able to attend, will be presented to them at the conference. Full articles will be eligible for the Prize, but not short articles, since it is only full length articles that are subject to the (anonymous) refereeing process before acceptance for publication. Directors of Imago Mundi Ltd (who will take it in turns to serve on the panel of judges) will not be eligible. His fellow Directors wish to give warm thanks to Kenneth Nebenzahl for his generous sponsorship of this Prize. Board of Directors, Imago Mundi Ltd."
