DESCRIPTION |
The goal of the William P. Cumming Map Society is to bring together individuals who share a common interest and enthusiasm for maps. Membership is open to everyone and includes collectors, dealers, curators, academics, cartographers, and those who simply enjoy maps. The purpose of the Society is to promote the study of cartography and its history, to encourage map collecting, and to support the preservation of the world’s cartographic heritage. The Society plans to hold a series of regularly scheduled meetings, beginning in 2001. All who love maps, who want to learn more about them, and who want to meet others who share a similar passion, are encouraged to join. |
