This is for anyone dealing with map collections; map librarians,
collectors, digital map folks, etc.

The editorship of Cartographic Perspectives seeks your articles
specifically related to map collections. Cartographic Perspectives
<http://www.nacis.org/cp.html>, (ISSN: 1048-9085), is the scholarly
journal of the North American Cartographic Information Society or
NACIS
<http://www.nacis.org/>. This journal is published triannually and
features articles from a very wide range of cartographic knowledge.

I invite you, who are involved in map collections; library or other, to
tell your
story. Tell us about a conference or workshop you have recently
attended. Submit your research papers. Many articles in past issues
have
described map collections in great detail, from their histories to
circulation policies to notable collections within. We all want to
know
how other institutions deal with issues such as cataloging, storage,
maintenance, etc. So please consider contributing your article to the
editor of the Map Library Bulletin Board section of Cartographic
Perspectives, contact information provided below.



The North American Cartographic Information Society, founded in 1980,
is
an organization comprised of specialists from private, academic, and
government organizations whose common interest lies in facilitating
communication in the map information community. NACIS is a
professional
society open to specialists from North America, including Canada, the
United States, Mexico, the nations of Central and Middle America as
well
as to individuals from other regions and organizations throughout the
world.
