Excerpt: 

The History of Cartography Project is a research, editorial, and publishing venture drawing international attention to the history of maps and mapping. The Project's major work is the multi-volume History of Cartography series. Its interdisciplinary approach brings together scholars in the arts, sciences, and humanities. By considering previously ignored aspects of cartographic history, the Project encourages a broader view of maps that has significantly influenced other fields of study.

Annotation: 

Site provides an abstract and table of contents for each of the six volumes of the History of Cartography series. Also includes a few links to other cartographic online resources.
