28th International Conference on the History of Cartography
28ste Internationale Conferentie voor de Geschiedenis van de Kartografie
14-19 July 2019 Amsterdam

ICHC 2019 was organized by the Special Collections of University Library of Amsterdam – since 1 January 2019 named ‘Allard Pierson, the Collections of the University of Amsterdam – and the Explokart Research Group. Other institutions in and beyond Amsterdam, such as the University Libraries of Leiden and Utrecht, the National Archives, the Royal Library, the Amsterdam City Archives, Het Scheepvaartmuseum, the Royal Palace Amsterdam and the Zuiderzeemuseum.

The conference was held in the KIT (Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen), and the theme of the conference was Early Maps, Modern Perspectives. Understanding Early Maps in the Twenty-First Century. The opening ceremony was held in the auditorium of the University of Amsterdam on Sunday 14 July with two key-notes: Context is everything.. by Peter Barber and Reading maps in Golden Age Amsterdam and beyond by Djoeke van Netten. At the closing session a final key-note was presented by Günter Schilder, Early Dutch Sailing across the World’s Oceans. A Chapter in Dutch Maritime Cartography.

Participants of the 28th ICHC Amsterdam 2019

From the ‘Welcome’ by conference director Bram Vannieuwenhuyze:

“This Conference takes its place in the long and vivid tradition of cartographic activities in Amsterdam and of past ICHCs, which have been organised since 1964. As Geert ten Dam and Günther Schilder have noted in their forewords, Amsterdam was not only the seventeenth-century mapping capital of the world but also the venue of the 13th ICHC, which took place exactly thirty years ago, in 1989. Hence the return of the ICHC to Amsterdam is an ideal occasion to reflect upon changes and continuities in the field, to investigate new opportunities and directions in research and conservation practices, and thus to reconsider the position and value of early maps in the twenty-first century. The title of this year’s Conference, Early Maps, Modern Perspectives. Understanding Early Maps in the Twenty-First Century, emphasises this important link between the old and the new, between tradition and innovation, which in our opinion are crucial aspects of our field of study and expertise.

“The week’s schedule presents that same combination of tradition and innovation. On the one hand, ICHC 2019 follows the path of previous occasions in offering pre-Conference events (the ICA Workshop Controlling the Waters in Utrecht and the ISCEM Meeting in Leiden); an opening ceremony on Sunday; a five-day scientific programme with a range of paper sessions; the Poster Session on Wednesday (an initiative introduced in Amsterdam in 1989!); a closing ceremony and Conference Dinner on Friday; a social programme with receptions and exhibitions on five evenings, and a post-Conference tour on Saturday. But the Amsterdam Conference team also proposes some innovations. We are happy to announce that no fewer than 128 speakers have the opportunity to present their paper or poster – and yet, the scientific committee still had to refuse a large number of proposals. The majority of them have been assigned to a range of thematic parallel sessions. In addition, a plenary paper session is scheduled each day just before lunch, which offers the opportunity to those scholars whose proposals received the highest marks from the committee to present their work to the entire audience.

“A second innovation is the organisation of a handful of interactive workshops. Technical workshops were introduced at the Budapest ICHC in 2005, yet this initiative was not continued. These workshops are intended for small audiences of about 20 people and focus on digital tools for studying and contextualising maps, launch round table discussions, shed a light on the editorial process of a map or book, or take people outside to discover how cartographers mapped the city or the sites where the Amsterdam map publishers had their workshops. The ultimate goal of this part of these workshops is to incite the participants to leave their seats and interact more actively with colleagues, tools and sources.

“Parallel to the preparation of ICHC, some institutions and publishers have made plans for exhibitions and publications related to specific aspects and themes within the history of cartography. Together with Lannoo Publishers, Marieke van Delft and Reinder Storm have edited the book De geschiedenis van Nederland in 100 kaarten (‘The history of the Netherlands in 100 maps’). On that occasion an exhibition has been set up in the Royal Library in The Hague, presenting 40 themes of the book covered by maps taken from its rich cartographic collection. In partnership with Allard Pierson, the Royal Palace Amsterdam (on the Dam Square), has organised the exhibition The Universe of Amsterdam. Treasures from the Golden Age of cartography, with its impressive floor maps of the world and the night sky – each measuring 624 cm in diameter and hence the largest maps in the world – as eye-catchers.
In the Amsterdam City Archives, a selection of beautiful manuscript estate atlases, commissioned by some urban charitable institutions in the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, are presented to the public through the exhibition Kaartboeken van Amsterdam 1559 – 1703. A book with the same title, by curator Marc Hameleers, is published by the THOTH company. In Spring 2019 Het Scheepvaartmuseum opened an entirely new presentation of its rich collections through two main themes, The Republic at Sea and Maps & Marvels, the second focussing on how Dutch seafarers in the Golden Age found their way, and how these voyages defined the way Europeans saw the world. During ICHC the Conference participants have the occasion to discover all these splendid initiatives. In addition, both the National Archives and Allard Pierson will exclusively welcome the participants and present a representative sample of maps and atlases taken from their large collections. (for an on-line version of the Allard Pierson pop-up exhibition, click here). Finally, as was the case with the 26th ICHC in 2015 in Antwerp, the journal Caert-Thresoor devotes a bilingual special issue to this 2019 ICHC; in parallel the Dutch journals De Boekenwereld and Simulacrum also publishing thematic issues on maps and cartography.”

There were seven exhibitions, as can be read above, in chronological order of the visit by the conference participants:

  1. Pop-up exhibition Muller’s maps of the continents in the Allard Pierson, the Collections of the University of Amsterdam, organized by Peter van der Krogt (Sunday 14 July, with on-line version.

  6. Kaartboeken van Amsterdam 1559 – 1703, Amsterdam City Archives.
