48th Annual Conference of the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives (ACMLA)
While producers, distributors and users mobilize their efforts to update the mapping of the world, librarians and archivists emphasize the importance of keeping track of cartographic production throughout time. Cartographic sources are not only very useful for exploring the territories that surround us, but also to understand the world that preceded us. How can maps and other geographical sources help us understand the history of societies? What strategies are needed to preserve our paper and digital cartographic heritage, and to increase the producer’s awareness of the historical significance of the data? In this era of technological change, what role can the map librarian or map archivist play in democratizing access to geospatial data?
