Imago Mundi journal at the International Conference on the History of Cartography, July 2024

Date: July 1, 2024 – July 5, 2024

Location: France

The editors of Imago Mundi are looking forward to attending ICHC 2024 in Lyon, France. Imago Mundi turns 90 years old in 2025 and ICHC 2024 offers us a chance to reflect on and connect with our community. They are eager to speak with researchers about prospective submissions, as well as to discuss the journal’s scope and reach. 

The editors will lead a workshop on Wednesday, 3 July. Attendees will tackle questions that include how, in the next decade, Imago Mundi might:

  • foster debate on methodological and conceptual questions, advance pedagogy, increase public impact?  
  • ensure a full range of maps and mapmaking practices are presented? 
  • contribute to connecting researchers, collectors, librarians and archivists? 

In short, we invite the map history community’s thoughts on what a flagship journal should strive for as it looks towards a second century.

Additionally, the editors will be available for discussions and one-on-ones during the lunch session each day during the conference. Please feel free to approach Jordana Dym or Katie Parker at the ICHC to chat about possible article topics, how to write an article, special issues, or other matters. Alternatively, reach out ahead of time to plan a time.
