Imago Mundi – the International Journal for the History of Cartography

Founded in 1935, Imago Mundi is a fully-refereed, international, interdisciplinary and scholarly journal devoted to the historical interpretation of maps and mapmaking in any part of the world.

The journal, published twice a year, strives to publish evergreen and innovative research on map production, materiality, original and subsequent acquisition and uses, audiences, and circulation. Each issue includes full-length articles in English, with abstracts in English, French, German and Spanish, as well as book and exhibition reviews, and shorter articles that communicate significant initial findings or emerging interpretations.

Depending on the issue, there may also be a multi-author forum discussing prescient issues in the field and other features that showcase the latest in map historical research. All articles are fully illustrated.

Editors particularly welcome individual or joint articles and proposals for themed issues that engage or debate methodological and conceptual questions, advance pedagogy, increase public impact, and contribute to connecting researchers, collectors, librarians and archivists.
