<h3>A History of Maps and Mapping</h3>
<p>Course Organisers: Dr Catherine Delano-Smith, Sarah Tyacke CB.</p>
<p>The aim in this course is to draw attention to some of the
challenges facing the student of map history given the longevity
and ubiquity of the mapping idea, from prehistory to the present,
and the variety of format, function and context of maps at any one
time. Sessions are designed to explore the fundamental principles
of map history to provide a framework in which the details of any
map from any period can be accommodated. Stress is laid on the
relationship between word and image, and the role of maps in
books, as a counterbalance to the traditional way of viewing maps
in isolation. The key tenet remains, however, that of the
indivisibility of maps as image, artefact and messenger.</p>
