DESCRIPTION The Terms of Reference which were accepted by the ICA Executive are as follows:
To promote the study of colonial mapping in the 19th and early 20th twentieth centuries (1801-1914) by the following strategies:
  • Establishing a database of interested researchers and encouraging co-operative activities
  • Preparing a book of comparative studies and bibliographies to be based on research undertaken between 2003 and 2007.
For the period 2003-2007 research within the Working Group will focus on Subsaharan Africa. If at all possible we would like to submit the Regional Bibliography on the History of Colonial Cartography in Subsaharan Africa in published form to the ICA Executive Committee in Moscow in 2007.
