I am sure many will welcome the Philadelphia Map Society as the latest addition
to the growing body of such groups around the world.
JB's forwarded message referred to the Society's 'inaugural year'. Perhaps I
have missed the announcement, but I had not previously heard of this
development. Nor, it seems, were the details forwarded to James Speed
Hensinger for his comprehensive list of 'Map Societies Around the World':

I do hope that all those who subscribe to this list will make a point of
alerting us to significant developments of this sort. Too often, we learn from
other sources. Sometimes, for reasons I cannot understand, matters of
historical interest have to be forwarded to us from, for example, Maps-L. The
obvious solution is for such announcements to be sent to all the relevant lists.
I will, as usual, be adding a note about this to the annual 'Chronicle' in
Imago Mundi. Though I shall need to have the date of its foundation, as will
James Speed Hensinger.
Anyway, a warm welcome to our Philadelphia colleagues.
