I'm a cartographer and a Quaker. I think the two are related, and the common threads seem to be a regular theme here. This blog started out exploring what it means to make maps—the ontology of cartography. Then I spent some serious time working on issues surrounding theological diversity among Quakers. Lately it's become even more freeform, though I'm still interested in both these areas.

Harley's article on his "Favourite Map" online
I've referred to J.B. Harley's article "My Favourite Map. The Map as Biography: Thoughts on Ordnance Survey Map, Six-Inch Sheet Devonshire CIX, SE, Newton Abbot" a few times. It was published in The Map Collector in 1978, and Kunstpedia.com is putting articles from that magazine online. I requested they add Harley's article and poof! Boudewijn Meijer did. Here it is! Wow, that was fast. Enjoy!
