I've set up my subscriptions and I'll see how it goes, but that was a concern I had about switching over from listserv mode. Is it possible for the email notifications to include the actual new post and a link to it, rather than just a link? It would save a lot of time for those of us who don't mind the emails and, from my perspective, would make the new forum irresistible, combining the best of the old and new. I agree. But in that case, I'd want to receive a notification every time the forum was updated, not just one time until I visit the forum, which is the way it's set up now.

I have been the moderator for a discussion list on Yahoogroups for several years. It is free of charge. To sign up for the list traditionally you had to register a Yahoo ID (a simple process) but now I see you can sign in via a Google ID or Facebook profile if you prefer. I have found the service to work well. A few years ago there was a problem with spammers constantly trying to get through, but Yahoo has made a number of improvements so that we very seldom have that anymore -- off the top of my head I'd say it's down to once or twice a year. In addition, there is a folder to which members can upload photos, and it is very easy to search old messages if you want to look up a previous post. There are other features that people here might want to make use of, such as the Calendar (to post events such as conferences and programs). It has the same digest or individual message options as this listserv, or you can choose a web-only subscription and log in to see messages when you choose. I can recommend Yahoo as an option to consider without reservation. I have no direct experience with managing a group on Googlegroups but I am subscribed to one and it seems to work efficiently as well.

Specifically, how much the coverage extends to print engravers in general who had little to do with maps? (Because in addition to maps, we also carry a lot of British prints of various subjects.) And if someone engraved landscape or topographical views -- for example, a series of town or river views -- but not maps, would they be included in this book?

[MapHist] Thefts from MD Historical Society archives in the news
This is a MapHist list message (when you hit 'reply' you're replying to the whole list) o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + Author and collector Barry Landau and an alleged accomplice have been arrested in Baltimore for attempted theft of valuable documents related to presidential memorabilia from the Maryland Historical Society. No mention of maps so far, but the probe is expanding and the FBI is involved. From the Baltimore Sun: ³Before being arrested by police on Saturday and charged with stealing dozens of historical documents, author and collector Barry H. Landau had brought cupcakes for the center's staff. They figure he was trying to ingratiate himself with the staff, much as he has for decades with political and Hollywood elite. And it may be a calling card of sorts. As the investigation into the thefts continued to broaden Tuesday, officials of at least one other state historical society said they had been visited multiple times in the past by Landau and his alleged conspirator, who brought Pepperidge Farm cookies for the staff and aroused suspicions with their odd behavior. Word of the arrests has set off a ripple effect among the historic preservation community, with the FBI requesting that other museums and libraries review their logs to see if Landau and 26-year-old Jason Savedoff had been visitors and, in turn, made them potential victims. Landau is a renowned collector, reputed to have the largest collection of presidential memorabilia outside of museums and the presidential libraries. The former White House protocol officer has claimed to have 1 million artifacts in his Manhattan apartment on West 57th Street. The director of the Maryland Historical Society confirmed that the pair had previously visited its Baltimore library in June, and authorities were working to account for documents that were checked out during that visit. The incident has sparked renewed attention to securing priceless and historic artifacts at museums and libraries² Read the rest here http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-historical -theft-folo-20110712,0,6350995.story There was also an another article in the previous day¹s Baltimore Sun. --Helen ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø Helen Glazer, Creative Director George Glazer Gallery http://www.georgeglazer.com Antique Globes, Maps Prints ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ø ___ MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography hosted by the Faculty of Geosciences, University of Utrecht.

It is possible that tomorrow (Sunday) this strip might appear on the website www.arcamax.com http://www.arcamax.com for viewing. The comic synidcates very jealously protect copyright as they see it so it may not be possible to pass such things around. Many comic strips have had maps over the years, though such things may be more the subject area of maps in popular culture than the history of cartography. I have seen them in L'il Abner (though often more views), The Phantom, Superman (location of Metropolis), Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and so on. amazon.com is selling a variety of wine maps atlases. Again, these may be more appropriate to the field of popular culture, particularly maps on wine labels, but viticultural cartography does have a historic component reaching back to vineyards depicted on medieval estate maps.

Full description at http://www.georgeglazer.com/archives/prints/vista/shenandoah.html : ³With the growth of railroads and the western expansion that occurred after the Civil War, towns commissioned such views to promote settlement, attract businesses, and foster civic pride. In an era before aviation, the creation of these panoramas was an act of imagination, combining information from city maps, ground-level sketches of buildings and the rules of Renaissance perspective into a convincing aerial view. Indeed, the hand-drawn view died out between 1910 and 1925 partly because aerial photography supplanted the need for these specialized skills. Itinerant artists like Fowler typically exhibited their final drawings to the public prior before reproducing them as lithographic prints to both insure accuracy and attract advance orders and sponsorships from advertisers to have their buildings featured in vignettes and legends on the map.² References: Hébert, John R., ed., rev. by Patrick E.
