| With support from the National Science Foundation from September 1999
through August 2002, the History of Cartography Project initiated work
on Volume Six under the leadership of Mark Monmonier, Distinguished Professor
of Geography at Syracuse University. The grant provided research stipends,
with which we hoped to encourage proven or promising scholars from a wide
variety of backgrounds to research the history of cartography in the twentieth
century. Participants attended a planning conference in June 2000, prepared
major research papers, presented their results at a symposium in March
2002, and delivered copies of their research materials to the Project.
The papers were published in a special issue of Cartography and Information
Science (CaGIS) Volume 29, Number 3 (July 2002) and will form a foundation
for Volume Six itself.
