'Map Societies Around the World'
Announcing a change of address and a new site manager.
'Map Societies' is now at
http://www.maphist.nl/mapsoc/index.html
and it is now run by James Speed Hensinger.
This listing of the contact details and websites of all the known map societies
was started in 1997 by Bill Barrow, was taken on by Peter van der Krogt in
2005, and is now being managed by Jim Hensinger.
The Map Societies pages are closely related to the 'Map History' site and form
an essential part of the collective attempt to 'map' the available information
about the history of maps.
Jim would like to check that the detail in those pages is correct and up to
date. So, to save him having to write individually to all of you who are
involved in the running of a map society, please get in touch with him, if only
to say that your society's details are correct. Otherwise do send him
corrections and additional information.

Peter van der Krogt has arranged for the Map Societies pages to be transferred
from his department at the University of Utrecht to the MapHist site. If you
have links to the Map Societies pages please alter the part before /mapsoc/...
to the form above. The last part stays the same.
Finally, a very big thank you to Peter for all his hard work in maintaining
those pages. He already does far too much for us all, steering MapHist through
the occasional mine-field, and producing a steady stream of indispensable
titles in the history of cartography. After five years it seemed right to let
somebody else take on the Societies responsibility and I am pleased that I was
able to persuade him of that.
I am sure all of you are delighted that Jim Hensinger has agreed to manage the
site from now on. He has had hands-on experience himself with the Rocky
Mountain Map Society. Please help him to keep 'Map Societies' as relevant as
possible by also notifying him of any future changes as they occur.
