Preface
This volume comprises most of the research papers presented at the 6th Interna-
tional Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography which

The history of cartography covers a vast field of knowledge and includes all
maps and map-like graphics made by humankind since prehistoric times. Map
compilation and map use today are, however, seldom dependent on maps which
wereproducedbeforeearlymoderntimes.Withthisinmind,theICACommission
decided to concentrate on the history of cartography since the Enlightenment—
without neglecting research on earlier periods relevant to the understanding of
moderncartographicdevelopments.
The 6th International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of
Cartographyhadasitsgeneraltheme“TheDisseminationofCartographicKnowl-
edge: Production—Trade—Consumption—Preservation.” Under the leadership of
the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography, the Symposium was jointly
organized with the ICA Commission on Map Production and Geoinformation
Management and the ICA Commission on Use, User, and Usability Issues, and
with the collaboration of the Institute of Social Sciences “Ivo Pilar” (Zagreb,
Croatia). The various paper and poster sessions were held at the Centre for
Advanced Academic Studies of the University of Zagreb which is situated in the
heartofthehistoriccityofDubrovnik.
The papers published in this volume discuss the historical dimension of the
dissemination of cartographic knowledge and the effectiveness thereof in diverse
cartographicculturesandtheirrelatedusergroupsaroundtheglobe.Thisincludes
thetechnologicalandconceptualaspectsofcartographicproduction(maps,charts,
globes, atlases, educational tools, etc.), the usability of these techniques and the
resultingproducts,aswellastheconditionsofthemaptradeasachangingnetwork
ofprivateenterprisesandofficialinstitutions,andthe roleofdiverseaudiencesin

the creation, circulation, consumption, and ultimate preservation of knowledge.
Although the Symposium was primarily focused on the eighteenth to twentieth
centuries, it was also open to contributions on the sharing of cartographic knowl-
edgeduringearliercenturies,astheyoftenformedthebackgroundforlaterimpor-
tantdevelopments.
We would like to acknowledge our gratitude to the University of Zagreb and
especially to its Centre for Advanced Academic Studies in Dubrovnik and their
HeadofOffice,Mrs.VlastaBrunsko,forherguidanceandlogisticsupport.
