Acknowledgements of help with the 'Map History' site
IHR
Thanks must go to the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, which
generously hosted this sub-site on their "History" site, from its beginning in 1996 until summer 2003. I am also proud to be a member of the World Wide Web Virtual Library. The move to the new host, ammonet.com, was greatly eased by the ready and helpful advice offered by the host-owner, Jack Benson.
Companion Sites
The History of Cartography is, in a real sense, served by a network of
sites - a miniature web of its own:
Map Societies around the World
(started by William Barrow in 1997; run by Peter van der Krogt 2005-10; and, since December 2010, managed
by James Speed Hensinger)
