First, it was gratifying to report that our financial balance was nearly $1,000, our expenses were very low, and we decided to continue to publish Base Line on our own for another year. Our membership was approximately~ as-- of 31 December 1980 and growing! Two unexpected invitations were given to MAGERT while in Washington. Initially, we were invited to nominate A member to the Standing Committee of IFLA for the Section on Geography and Map Libraries. This nomination is currently in process and will be announced in the next issue. Also, Lee Ash - Editor of Special Collections, and A MAGERT member - invited the Round Table to help coordinate an issue on map collections. Charley Seavey then announced plans for the San Francisco conference; these are listed further on in this issue. Charky and Phil Hoehn (DCI Berkek~p have worked hard to put together one of the "best ever" map library programs and have brought together experts, from Washington, D.C. to Mexico City. Don't forget, the growth and success of your organization is up to you, and depends on your active participation. If you would like to, or are willing to, help us in any way, please write to me. David Cobb AMBLINGS FROM THE EDITOR This issue is A few months later than I would have liked--but the date of issuance was dictated by the date of the first printout of MAGERT membership (end of March), without which list it seemed pointless to proceed. The next issue will follow fairly quickly on the heels of this one. David modestly neglected to mention that Midwinter brought another achievement for MAGERT - A photograph of him and A short paragraph on ~~GERT appeared in the March issue of American Libraries, p. 130. So if you've been wondering what A person masochistic enough to be deeply involved in starting an ALA round table looks like, here's your chance (funny, there are no obvious signs of madness). WANT TO BEEF UP YOUR RESUME? Become A Base Line contributing editor! Base Line needs correspondents from the Northeast, the Southeast, the ¥idwest, the Northwest, California, and probably wherever you happen to be. Nothing elegant required in the line of submissions - photocopy and telephone calls fine. Base Line also needs an advertising editor. Doubtless I'll think up another few offices--or become painfully aware of the need for them--as the months march by. Talk to me if you're interested. base line 2(1):3 • QUESTION BOX 1) Has anyone besides Barbara Cox at U.Utah used CLSI's circulation system for maps?

This paper describes the main objectives of the project, outlines several different work plans, and reports on developments from the World-Historical Gazetteer Workshop that took place in September of 2014. During the workshop, participants worked to establish a criteria and standards for a world-historical gazetteer and reported on currently available gazetteer resources. A consensus arose among participants to begin the work of developing a “spine” gazetteer, based on a world-historical atlas, which is to be linked to other gazetteer resources. While the initial development work on the spine has already commenced, additional activities will continue through December of 2015. The product of the start-up project is displayed on the CHIA

  • Creating a Definitive Place Name Layer (Gazetteer) for Scotland
    Creating a Definitive Place Name Layer (Gazetteer) for Scotland Bruce M. Gittings Panos Terzis The University of Edinburgh Some Definitions • Short-form gazetteers: – often used in conjunction with computer mapping and GIS systems, may simply contain a list of place-names together with their locations in latitude and longitude or other spatial referencing systems (eg. British National Grid Reference). Short-form gazetteers appear as a place-name index in the rear of major published atlases. • Address Gazetteers: – geo-referenced address lists, often used by local authorities for purposes such as local taxation • Long-form (or Descriptive) gazetteers: – may include lengthy textual descriptions of the places they contain, including explanation of industries, government, geography, together with historical perspectives, maps and / or photographs. • Thematic gazetteers: – list places or geographical features by theme; for example fishing ports, nuclear power stations or historic buildings. Their common element is that the geographical location is an important attribute of the features listed. Scottish Tradition • Scotland has a rich set of geographical names drawn from English, Scots, Gaelic, Norse, Anglo-Saxon, German, French… • Names, descriptions and illustrations formed part of Scottish maps back into the 16th century • A fine tradition of descriptive gazetteer publishing flowered in the 19th century • Scotland produced gazetteers for around the world, or certainly those countries administered by Britain Drivers for a Contemporary Gazetteer

WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

  • Digital Gazetteer of China's Historical Religious Sites
    Key Issues in Compiling a Digital Gazeteer of China’s Historical Religious Sites Merrick Lex Berman China Historical GIS April 2004 Abstract: One way to compile a database of historical religious sites is to begin by digitizing descriptions of those sites found in widely used secondary sources. For example, Da Qing yitong zhi provides brief descriptive information about several thousand temples and monasteries. In turn, 2,407 of those temple descriptions were compiled into a single index, Chugoku no jiin . Therefore, by compiling each record listed in the 264 page Chugoku no jiin index, we can create a database of nearly all the temple descriptions that are scattered throughout several hundred volumes of Da Qing yitong zhi. This paper recounts the process of digitizing the Chugoku no jiin, including the georeferencing of the temple descriptions to known point locations in the China Historical GIS database, and considerations for how to carry on the next step of research. Thorny issues that still need to be dealt with include: reconciling conflicting information between different gazetteer sources, confirming more precise locations for the historical religious sites, representing locations of sites for which we have only general location descriptions, and extending the database to include important events related to each of the temples. 1.1 Selection of Sources Naturally the selection of sources to be used for compiling a database is of paramount importance. We know the principle of “garbage in, garbage out,” is true, and yet, what if the debate about which sections of our sources actually are “garbage” is far from settled? How can we make a first attempt to present the entire landscape as it has been depicted in various accounts over the course of several thousand years? In the case of Chinese texts, we benefit from centuries of scholarship and commentaries, which nonetheless, still manage to bury us in a deluge of possibilities.

Standing on a hill, looking northward across the city toward the Yangzi, he might have decried the masts of more than seventy British ships anchored in a thick nest on the river, or perhaps have noticed the strange shapes of the four armored steamships that, contrary to expecta- tions, had successfully penetrated the treacherous lower stretches of China's main waterway. Might have seen this, indeed, except that his view most likely would have been screened by the black clouds of smoke swirling up from one, then two, then three of the city's five gates, as fire spread to the guardtowers atop them. His ears dinned by the report of rifle and musket fire and the roar of cannon and rockets, he would scarcely have heard the sounds of panic as townsmen, including his own relatives and friends, screamed to be allowed to leave the city, whose gates had been held shut since the week before by order of the commander of * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Manchu Studies (Manzokushi kenkyùkai) at Meiji University, Tokyo, in November 1988.

  • Treaty-Port English in Nineteenth-Century Shanghai: Speakers, Voices, and Images
    Treaty-Port English in Nineteenth-Century Shanghai: Speakers, Voices, and Images Jia Si, Fudan University Abstract This article examines the introduction of English to the treaty port of Shanghai and the speech communities that developed there as a result. English became a sociocultural phenomenon rather than an academic subject when it entered Shanghai in the 1840s, gradually generating various social activities of local Chinese people who lived in the treaty port. Ordinary people picked up a rudimentary knowledge of English along trading streets and through glossary references, and went to private schools to improve their linguistic skills. They used English to communicate with foreigners and as a means to explore a foreign presence dominated by Western material culture. Although those who learned English gained small-scale social mobility in the late nineteenth century, the images of English-speaking Chinese were repeatedly criticized by the literati and official scholars. This paper explores Westerners’ travel accounts, as well as various sources written by the new elite Chinese, including official records and vernacular poems, to demonstrate how English language acquisition brought changes to local people’s daily lives. I argue that treaty-port English in nineteenth-century Shanghai was not only a linguistic medium but, more importantly, a cultural agent of urban transformation. It gradually molded a new linguistic landscape, which at the same time contributed to the shaping of modern Shanghai culture. Introduction The circulation of Western languages through both textual and oral media has enormously affected Chinese society over the past two hundred years. In nineteenth-century China, the English language gradually found a social niche and influenced people’s acceptance of emerging Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review E-Journal No.

  • The Local in the Imperial Vision: Landscape, Topography, and Geography in Southern Song Map Guides and Gazetteers
    The Local in the Imperial Vision: Landscape, Topography, and Geography in Southern Song Map Guides and Gazetteers Fan Lin, Leiden University Abstract This article examines the generation of topographic maps and geographical writings about local regions of the Southern Song (1127–1279). It identifies two distinct yet interrelated models in the making of local regions in maps and writings: first, map guides (tujing ), which were produced and updated regularly at different tiers of local government for administrative purposes; second, a growing number of monographs, some of them also named “map guides” (tujing) and others “gazetteers” (zhi or difang zhi ), which were compiled by local literati scholars. Upon close examination of these two models, one finds that the local consciousness and identity voiced by the provincial elite were congruous with centralist sentiment and discourse at this time. Specifically, the literati described features of local topographies within an imperial context and in the language of the authorities. Moreover, the wide circulation of these writings also contributed to the collective imagining of a Song Empire in the daily life of the society. In sum, this article argues that there was a close relationship between cartographic discourse and the production of empire at the local level. On the one hand, the state of the Southern Song, traditionally thought to have lost momentum in local control, still proactively maintained regular checks on local geography through mapmaking. On the other hand, local literati strived to establish ties with the central state in various ways while documenting their communities in gazetteers. Keywords: Song dynasty, map guide, tujing, gazetteer, difang zhi, geography, topography Introduction Map guides (tujing , literally “map and treatise”) and gazetteers (difang zhi , literally “record of a local region”) were the two dominant genres of geographical writing in the Song dynasty (960–1279).
