The History of Cartography

The Institute for Research in the Humanities (http://irh.wisc.edu) and the History of Cartography Project (http://www.geography.wisc.edu/histcart), at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW), hold an annual competition for the David Woodward Memorial Fellowship in the History of Cartography. The fellowship gives scholars an opportunity to research and write on a subject related to the history of cartography in a stimulating academic environment. Proposals should complement one of the forthcoming volumes of The History of Cartography. It is preferred that the 2014-2015 fellow will focus on under-studied topics in nineteenth-century cartography (related to Volume Five of The History of Cartography), but this is not required and the choice of subject matter is otherwise open. Fellows are provided with office space (when available) and access to all UW–Madison libraries and campus facilities. Participation in the lively, interdisciplinary community of the Institute is strongly encouraged.
