The International Map Collectors’ Society (IMCoS) is made up of an informal group of map enthusiasts from all parts of the globe. It is an interesting mix of map collectors, dealers in maps and books, archivists and librarians, academics and writers. Their interests are wide ranging and cover the breadth of the evolution of European, Asian and Middle-Eastern mapmaking, from early woodcuts to twentieth-century offset printing.
