The History of Cartography Project is a research, editorial, and publishing endeavor drawing international attention to the history of maps and mapping. The Project brings together scholars in the arts, sciences, and humanities under the direction of the University of Wisconsin Department of Geography. By considering previously ignored aspects of map history, such as ideological patronage and religious symbolism, the Project encourages a broader view of maps.
