A two-day Workshop (8-9 July) for early career professionals (scholars, curators, archivists, and librarians) working in the history of cartography, will precede the Symposium. Hands-on activities led by four experts in the field may include work with the collection of Asian maps kept in National Library of France, discussion on curating digitalized and digital-born maps, sessions focusing on the themes on post-colonial mapping and local knowledge, materiality and production of the maps, and the use and circulation of maps.

The Symposium (9 to 11 July) will focus on mapping the cultural crossroads. We particularly welcome proposals that address cultural aspects of cartography, particularly cross-cultural exchanges and global circulation of knowledge. Proposals that address or inspire comparative approaches in map history are especially welcome.

A post-event trip to Vincennes with a guided tour through the cartographic treasures of the Historical Archives Center kept in the Château de Vincennes, a former fortress and royal residence dating back to 14th century is planned for 12 July.

Building on the successful 2023 Symposium and Workshop held in Berlin, Germany, we are pleased to plan an in-person event.

For information about travel to and within France, as well as venue location and possible lodging, a Practical Information page will be available on ISHMap’s website closer to the event dates.
