Subjects to choose from are legion but Elri Liebenberg (Pretoria) some come with difficulty. Today is no exception, and important Juha Nurminen (Helsinki) information is harder to promulgate when its nature is not pleasing or EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE goes against the chairman’s grain. IMCoS has been organising annual & APPOINTED OFFICERS international symposia since its inception in 1980/81. Only once did we miss one and that was because of scheduling difficulties with the reversed Chairman Hans Kok Poelwaai 15, 2162 HA Lisse, seasons of the southern hemisphere, creating a time lapse between The Netherlands Tel/Fax +31 25 2415227 symposia that was either too short or too long. Over the years we have Email [email protected] always had local organisers willing to do most of the work and assume Vice Chairman & the financial risk of such an undertaking. The Society has been both UK Representative Valerie Newby Prices Cottage, 57 Quainton Road, happy and lucky in this respect and our loyal participants have enjoyed North Marston, Buckingham, the subjects of the lectures given and the touristic tours that accompanied MK18 3PR, UK Tel +44 (0)1296 670001 them. Although membership has been stable, we recognise that few of Email [email protected] our younger members, for reasons of interest, time or money, are General Secretary David Dare Fair Ling, Hook Heath Road, attending our symposia, while at the same time older members have Woking, Surrey, GU22 0DT, UK decided that with creeping old age the effort is beyond them, particularly, Tel +44 (0)1483 764942 if long-haul flights are involved. Email [email protected] Finding an organiser to follow our last very successful symposium in Treasurer Jeremy Edwards 26 Rooksmead Road, Sunbury on Thames, Manila and Hong Kong has proven impossible to date, and time has run Middlesex, TW16 6PD, UK out for the fall of 2019. The Executive Committee therefore has Tel +44 (0)1932 787390 reluctantly decided that 2019 will be a year without a dedicated Email [email protected] symposium. An alternative is available: the ICHC Symposium which Advertising Manager Jenny Harvey Email [email protected] will take place in Amsterdam in July this year. Please see the announcement and registration details on page 7. Details on the Council Member Diana Webster Email [email protected] Amsterdam schedule, programme and registration may be accessed via the relevant website. The ICHC is a biennial conference; the last one Dealer Liaison Katherine Parker Email [email protected] took place in 2017 in Belo Horizonte/Brazil. Editor Ljiljana Ortolja-Baird The Executive Committee is unhappy with the situation and Email [email protected] continues its efforts to remedy the situation. For 2020 we will support Financial & Membership Administration the Sydney conference scheduled for September of that year celebrating Peter Walker, 10 Beck Road, Saffron Walden, the 250th anniversary of Cook’s discovery of the east coast of Australia. Essex CB11 4EH, UK Email [email protected] We realise that an IMCoS Symposium is definitely part of our reputation and internationally a ‘must’ as a way of meeting new and old map Marketing Manager Mike Sweeting Email [email protected] friends. Aimed at knowledgeable collectors in combination with National Representatives Coordinator academics, these conferences link us and expose us to maps and culture Robert Clancy from countries that we might otherwise not have visited. Email [email protected] Let me close with a more cheerful announcement: IMCoS member Photographer Philip Burden, well-known UK dealer and author of the 2-volume The David Webb Email [email protected] Mapping of North America, which has become the standard reference on the subject, has once more updated his book, adding some 30 pages of Web Coordinators Jenny Harvey Ljiljana Ortolja-Baird additional and corrected information and newly discovered maps. An Peter Walker ‘after-sales service’ that is much appreciated and testimony to the author’s commitment. www.imcos.org 3 4 EDITORIAL Ljiljana Ortolja-Baird WELCOME TO OUR A conversation among friends about a suitable gift for a newborn elicited NEW MEMBERS a broad range of ideas, but perhaps the standout suggestion was a gift of an atlas printed in the year of the baby’s birth. To raised eyebrows at the Robert Bezuijen, Australia. Collection interest: Asia, VOC mental images of babies tearing their way through the atlas pages the contributor explained that the atlas enabled the recipient, at any time in Zachary J Boettcher, USA their life, to view the world as it was when she or he was born. On Michael Buehler, USA. Collection interest: America reflection, what had, at first, appeared as a thoroughly inappropriate gift now made sense, was even applauded, and conversation shifted to the Courtney Ahlstrom Christy, USA. Collection interest: American southeast state of the world at the time of the group’s various birthdates and how James Conley, USA much, and what, had changed.
