In connection with the Imago Mundi 'Chronicle', I have always approached the list at this time each year asking for information about recently awarded doctorates. Dissertations do not have to be exclusively concerned with the history of cartography, but should treat non-current maps prominently. So far, I know of the following recent awards (2011 unless stated otherwise): Jordan Branch George S. Carhart Genevieve Carlton Zoltán Krasznai Martin Lehmann (2010) Jeffers L. Lennox (2010) Angeliki Tsorlini Gene Rhea Tucker Besides being included in 'Chronicle', the details will be added to the cumulative listing (1995- ) at < http://www.maphistory.info/phd.html >. I am always interested in adding doctorates from several years ago, which I had missed, even if these are too late for 'Chronicle'. This is where YOU come in - by helping to add to that list. Some of those included in such a list will represent the future of our subject. It is important to identify them and find ways to encourage those individuals to stay with maps. Besides those named above, I am aware of others who had contacted me with details of their dissertation. I will be approaching you shortly but please respond to this message if you have already received your award. If you have moved, I will not have your correct email address anyway. Finally, I am aware of a number of other PhD students who are working with early maps, but whom I have been unable to contact. If this applies to you, or you know somebody in that position, this would be a good time to email me, so that I can include those details on < http://www.maphistory.info/futurephd.html >. Thanks for any help. I look forward to meeting you again on the MapHist Forum.
