This book gathers 22 papers which were presented at the 6th International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography in Dubrovnik, Croatia on 13–15 October 2016. The overall conference theme was ‘The Dissemination of Cartographic Knowledge: Production – Trade – Consumption – Preservation’. The book presents original research by internationally respected authors in the field of historical cartography, offering a significant contribution to the development of this field of study, but also of geography, history and the GIS sciences. The primary target audience includes researchers, educators, postgraduate students, map librarians and archivists.
“The volume contains not only a broad tapestry of case studies, but also suggestions for future research and pointers to newly available or soon-to-be-available technological possibilities, there is surely something here for all. Historians from other fields, such as military history, cultural history, and the history of science and technology will likewise read this volume with great interest and profit from the change of perspective afforded by its cross-disciplinary content.” (Lena Moser, Imago Mundi, Vol. 70 (2), May, 2018)
