The Imago Mundi: The International Journal for the History of Cartography has just released an additional volume for 2014. The surprised volume is a supplement that contains the following articles: a) Preface; b) Introduction: People, Places, and Ideas in the History of Cartography; c) A Paper City: On History, Maps, and Map Collections in 18th and 19th Century Paris; d) A View from America: Map Collecting, ‘Treasure-House’ Libraries, and American Civic Influences on the History of Cartography; e) A Life in Maps: Leo Bagrow, Imago Mundi, and the History of Cartography in the Early Twentieth Century; f) I draw a line here and open a new chapter’: The Bagrow-Almagià Correspondence 1947–1955; h) Academic Cartography, Internal Map History, and the Critical Study of Mapping Processes; and i) A Content Analysis of Imago Mundi, 1935–2010 The article on the content analysis is fascinating as it covers the 592 research articles in the first 62 volumes of Imago Mundi, from 1935 to 2010. The articles are analyzed to discern trends in the scholarly approaches, biases and interests of historians of cartography. Particular attention is paid to map historians’ preferred historical periods and topical subjects of study, to their nationalistic tendencies and to the shifting importance of traditional, internal and socio-cultural approaches to map history. I would encourage carto geeks to subscribe to the Journal...ENJOY! The link is... tandfonline/loi/rimu20#.VHj_MIu270c
