International Society for the History of the Map (ISHMap) Workshop II

The International Society for the History of the Map (ISHMap) advances the study of the history of maps and mapping in all societies and over all periods of time by promoting the education of the general public in the subject; by promoting communication between members and non-members; and by promoting the research, teaching and funding of the subject.

The ISHMap Workshop for young professionals working in the history of cartography, established in 2022, offers hands-on learning and networking opportunities which are led by experts in the field. Four sessions led by Diana Lange and Oliver Hahan (Maps and Colour), Shih-Pei Chen (Working on Historical Maps Digitally), Matthew Edney (Map History's Narrative Structures) and David Weimer (Art Making and the Limits of the Map) will include engagement with the MPIWG’s collection of Chinese maps and discussions on developing digital humanities projects.

Details of the program can be found on the ISHMap website here.
