================================================ MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ================================================ Subject: Regarding: request for brief papers on early maps for Journal of Map and Geography Libraries/Geoscapes Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 From: Paige Andrew <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Good morning! Just to be more explicit regarding Mary Larsgaard's announcement that we are seeking brief articles/papers on early maps; "Geoscapes" = the Journal of Map and Geography Libraries Not everyone may be aware of that Geoscapes is our "pet name" for the journal. Looking forward to submissions! Sincerely, Paige Andrew co-editor, Geoscapes "We co-editors of Geoscapes have started a column, "Early Maps," that is shorter papers on early maps. At this point, we're thinking in terms of a different author of the column for each issue. We visualize either "galleries" that showcase a collection - with illustrations of maps in the collection - or thought pieces on trends in early maps. (The problems with security in map collections and especially early-map collections we hope will be a collection of articles in a theme issue.) If this topic interests you, do send in your column ideas to us; our deadlines for the next 2 issues to be published are: February 2006 August 2006 Paige Andrew [log in to unmask] Mary Larsgaard [log in to unmask]" --
