These have been divided into four periods, which are discussed in the elaborate introduction and which gives a complete overview of the history of the Society. The wealth and variation of the cartographical material, which has been published in this leading magazine (tijdschrift) for almost a century, led worldwide to major interest among collectors and researchers. All maps are extensively described and have been made even more accessible by adding indices on name, area and subject.
