    ANZMapS Webinar - Pictoral Mapmakers

    Pictorial maps convey information using illustrations, images and text to engage the viewer. They gained popularity in first half of the 20th century and are undergoing a renaissance as contemporary mapmakers find creative ways to expand traditional notions of cartography.  ANZMapS is hosting a free Zoom webinar on pictoral mapmakers and mapmaking to be held Thursday, 19 May.

    Speakers include: Melinda Clarke, Adam Mattinson, and Anton Thomas.

    GeoCart'2021 Cancellation

    Due to the ongoing uncertainty around the COVID-19 situation, the NZCS and GeoCart Committees have made the difficult decision to cancel the rescheduled GeoCart'2021.  We are all deeply disappointed, but these are unprecedented times and it is the right thing to do under the circumstances.

    Hopefully, the 2022 conference will be able to proceed as normally scheduled. We will announce the dates, venues, and Keynote speakers through the usual channels as soon as they are confirmed. Planning for 2022 will begin towards the latter half of 2021. Stay tuned for more details to follow.

    Kia kaha. Stay well.
