Dear colleagues
Hurry, you only have until next Friday (19 August) to book for this year's Map
Curators' Group Workshop in lovely and historic York.
Here's what we have on offer: Andrew Janes (National Archives, UK) and Carolyn
Hansen (Brooklyn, NY, Historical Society) will talk about new and unusual ways
their institutions have found to promote their map collections; from Edinburgh,
Stuart Nicols talks about a project that enables historians to use digitised
and geo-referenced maps in conjunction with historical information; from
Europe, online services promoting heritage map collections are described by
Jean-Luc Arnaud (France's CartoMundi service) and Rink Kruk (Belgium's
Cartesius project); and a tour around Ordnance Survey's OS OpenData with Bob
Lilley.
We also have some real treats in store for our visits, including the atlas
collection of a 17th century archbishop at the York Minster Library; using maps
at York Explore's Archives and Local History service; and the National Railway
Museum has just offered a talk about their extensive collection of railway maps
and related materials in addition to seeing all those trains!
Here are the details and booking form
http://www.cartography.org.uk/default.asp?contentID=992 and payment can easily
be made by credit card. We've even arranged accommodation at a special

See you in September!
