The Conference is the major international scholarly conference dedicated
to advancing knowledge of the history of cartography, of maps and
mapmaking, broadly defined. The conference promotes global cooperation
and collaboration among scholars (from any academic discipline),
curators, collectors, dealers and institutions through illustrated
talks, poster presentations, exhibitions, and a social programme.
Educational and cultural institutions have supported each conference.

The first aim of the conference is to foster discussion on the history
of cartography in general, not necessarily the history of single maps.
The presentations should be focused on the history of cartography and
only deal with historical geography or the history of discoveries on the
margins. Contributions on a topic from specialists in disciplines such
as geodesy, tourism studies, linguistics, history of science, art
history, etc., are very welcome.

The conference venue will be the Conference Centre of the recently
renovated UniS-Building of the University in Berne, which is well
equipped with modern presentation facilities. The dates are 8-13 July
2007 and the conference themes will be:

    * Mapping Relief
    * Maps and Tourism
    * Language and Maps
    * Time as the Cartographic Fourth Dimension
    * Any other aspect of the history of cartography
