In this session, Dr Sara Caputo (Cambridge) and Dr Leonardo Carrió Cataldi (CNRS, Lyon) will discuss how they work with maps and cartographic materials, including in their recently published, award-winning books. Covering everything from the fine grain—how to begin to understand a historical map—to grander ambitions—why do stories about maps matter?—our two experts will provide vital insights into thinking about cartography as a historian.

This is a joint EMECC, GHCC and Map History Group event.
