----------------------------Original message---------------------------- *** sent to MapHist and Maps-L *** What follows will be included in the next volume of 'Imago Mundi', due to be published in July. Can anybody add details of other events, from this October onwards, of concern to the history of cartography and with an international flavour? I have intentionally left out national conferences, some of which may include a history session, although I could be persuaded if such sessions had an invariable slot and supra-national content. A more inclusive version of this could be one of the elements of the proposed MapHist Homepage.
