Summary

Olof Hedbom reports on the IGU National Atlas Commission meeting in Moscow, 10–20 August 1958. It surveyed atlas projects worldwide—from completed editions to serial publications and planned works—and prepared for the 1960 Stockholm congress and exhibition. Participants set source citations, brief methodological notes, and multilingual headings as minimums, while favoring fuller map commentary. They praised Atlas över Sverige’s text and technical quality and asked Sweden to summarize national-atlas cartographic techniques for the commission’s 1960 report.
