This page attempts two things: to document what is currently being offered around the world; and, perhaps, to help create a 'virtual community' for teachers of this subject. It can thus serve as a shopping list for those seeking a course to join, while, simultaneously, helping those who are keeping the flame alive to maintain their awareness of teaching trends.
The other pages on this 'Map History' site testify to the breadth and vigour of the history of cartography as an academic and recreational subject. Yet the lack of opportunities for formal academic apprenticeship, i.e. university courses, is, if anything, getting worse.
A note on the qualifications for inclusion in this listing. Numerous Cartography and GIS courses start with a single lecture on mapping history. In other courses, maps serve a secondary, illustrative function. We hope that those concerned will understand why we have insisted here on a prominent role for non-current maps, though we are delighted to include courses given in any academic discipline.
The International Cartographic Association - Commission on Education and Training (CET) maintains a listing of Undergraduate cartography courses. This is arranged geographically and is potentially relevant, given that many history of cartography courses take place in cartography departments. However no history courses were noted. The GradSchools.com online listing was also consulted, without success.
The future updating of this page depends on information supplied by the instructors themselves. It is not feasible to carry out a systematic revision.

ICA Seminars
Seminars of the International Cartographic Association (Commission on History of Cartography, and Commission on
Education and Training), Teaching the History of Cartography. These were held as part of the biennial
International Conferences on the History of Cartography. The proceedings of the five seminars were published (in
four volumes) by the Faculty of Geographical Sciences, Utrecht University (1991-2000):

NB. While the links below can be openly accessed (e.g. via Google)
some are undoubtedly no longer current. This certainly applies to those from the Newberry Library (whose site is undergoing development, June 2005). The reading lists, for example,
would need updating (on which see 'Reading
Suggestions').
Their authors should be consulted before any use is made of the notes.
