Beratung der Kommission für Nationalatlanten der IGU in Moskau

Summary

Meeting in Moscow on 11–21 August 1958, the IGU Commission on National Atlases reviewed atlases in preparation and discussed completed map sheets. Its resolution advocated greater consistency to support geographical comparisons and possible use in future international maps. It identified monographic studies, a national-atlas bibliographic centre, advisory work and a permanent secretariat as urgent tasks. The report credits the discussions with bringing some editorial and map-compilation views into closer agreement.
