Reports of ICA Commissions: Atlases

Summary

The ICA Commission on Atlases published The Atlas Cookbook – 10 ingredients how to edit an atlas, a management-level guide for initiating and delivering atlas projects. Its ten chapters cover organization and marketing, editorial work, atlas use, content, data management, multimedia, interface and layout, map design, interactive functions, prototyping, and evaluation. Addressed to atlas makers and cartographers, it applies chiefly to digital technologies but also to print; a free digital edition and 200 printed copies were produced.
