Commission on National Atlases

Summary

The Commission planned a Leipzig meeting for 9–12 May 1991 to review German regional and national atlases and discuss developing-country atlas production, data banks, information systems, and electronic atlases. Following planning in Ottawa in December 1990, it proposed a successor commission focused on information exchange, multimedia, technical and design developments, and further atlas production. The existing commission was to present its final report in Bournemouth; if approved, the successor would first meet in Spain in spring 1992.
