Belgian Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences and ICA Commission on the History of Cartography

The 21st century map image of continents beyond Europe is still decisively shaped by inherited aesthetics and content dating back to the turn from explorative to imperialist cartography. The symposium welcomes contributions (papers and posters) to analyse aspects of the imperialist Global North hegemony by investigating topographic mapping, hydrographic charting, and thematic mapping in personal, institutional, and regional case studies. The regional scope of the conference are overseas continents and seascapes within the time frame from about the Napoleonic wars to the European de-colonization in the mid-twentieth century (1940s to 1960s).

Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG)

A two-day Workshop (10-11 July 2023) for early career professionals (scholars, curators, archivists, and librarians) working in the history of cartography, will precede the Symposium. Hands-on activities led by four experts in the field may include work with the MPIWG’s collection of Chinese maps and discussions on developing digital humanities projects, as well as sessions focusing on the themes of color in map scholarship.

The International Coronelli-Society for the Study of Globes and the Map Department of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin

In Berlin begann die Herstellung von Globen erst im späten 18. Jahrhundert, entwickelte sich jedoch im 19. Jahrhundert zu einer international sehr erfolgreichen Produktion. Zu nennen sind vor allem die Verlage Dietrich Reimer, Ernst Schotte, Julius Heymann und -für das 20 Jahrhundert- Columbus. Diese rege, aber vielleicht noch etwas zu wenig erforschte Verlagstätigkeit und das 2021 wieder eröffnete Gebäude der Staatsbibliothek „Unter den Linden“ sind Anlass, Forscherinnen und Forscher der Globenkunde und alle Interessierten nach 25 Jahren erneut nach Berlin einzuladen. Die Tagung wird im Humboldt-Saal der Staatsbibliothek, Unter den Linden 8, stattfinden.

Imago Mundi and the University of Lyon will be glad to welcome you back to France during the 30th International Conference on the History of Cartography [ICHC]. The idea of organizing the conference in Lyon with the theme "Confluences - Interdisciplinarity and New Challenges in the History of Cartography" is inspired by the very location of the city, as a confluence between North and South, between Saône and Rhône rivers, the Rhône Valley and the Alps.
