we enter a map shop today, we would hardly find any map without
colours. Colours and maps seem to have a strong relationship. Modern
technical possibilities of designing and printing maps make it easy to
create coloured maps. But our standard today is the result of a
centuries long development of the practice of map production. Colours on
printed (and hand-drawn) maps have been an additional element over a
long period of time and were not a ‘natural part’ of the map like today.</font></i></font></p>
<i>
</i>
<p><i><font size="2" face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif">In this sense, the colouring of maps provides insights into the
production, use and interpretation of maps by their producers and users
since the beginning of this process. Therefore, a multi-faceted approach
is essential for a better understanding of hand-coloured maps. With a
cross-cultural historical approach and a wide range of international
speakers from different disciplines we will address and discuss the
material, nature and meaning of colours on maps from their individual
research perspectives.'</font></i></p>
