About this product

Product Information

David Rumsey's collection of historical maps is one of the largest and most complete of its kind. Focused for the most part on North and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the collection is comprised of more than 150,000 items: maps, atlases, and contextual supporting documents. Unlike similar collections, the delicacy and rarity of which necessitate careful storage and restricted-use policies, The David Rumsey Map Collection (www davidrumsey.com) is available in growing numbers on the Web - and it is this conjunction of old and new technologies that is the heart of Cartographica Extraordinaire. The maps selected for Cartographica Extraordinaire tell a hundred distinct, exciting, important, and sometimes controversial stories, along two main paths of inquiry: how did a continental wilderness become a civilization, and how has the development of mapping science changed the ways we perceive, describe, study, and use the land? Geographic information systems have come, as part of the digital revolution, to dominate the cartography of today, but GIS didn't come into being out of nowhere; all its processes and capabilities have precursors in historical maps. Old maps can therefore tell us not only the stories of their subject matter, but stories about the history of mapmaking as well: its exigencies and limitations, trends and developments - its theory and practice and what that tells us about the people we were, are, and will be.
