Cartographic Journal, The

Summary

The supplied text comprises the end of an entry on East German cartographic secrecy, a complete account of The Cartographic Journal, and the opening of an entry on Cartographica. The East German section distinguishes extensive simplification in 1966–78 from subsequent relaxation; Lucht and colleagues classified some content alterations as falsification, while archival guidelines document permitted positional displacement. Kenneth S. Field traces The Cartographic Journal, launched by the British Cartographic Society in 1964, through its editorial arrangements, society reporting, reviews, and changing technical coverage. He records its transition from semiannual to quarterly publication by 2008, standard full-color printing from 1999, and International Cartographic Association affiliation in 2009. The Cartographica section follows Gutsell’s founding of Cartographer in 1964, its renaming in 1968, the addition of a monograph series in 1971, and their consolidation under University of Toronto Press in 1980, emphasizing its Canadian and international publishing objectives.
