Members of the International Map Collectors’ Society (IMCoS) will visit the Saisbury Institute on 4 April 2014 to come and see the Cortazzi Map Collection in the Lisa Sainsbury Library. The society based in England with members from all parts of the globe publishes quarterly journals and holds annual international symposia on maps. It also organizes related events for its members including the annual spring visits to important map collections in the UK or Europe. The society will venture to Norfolk for this year’s spring outing and will be shown the Cortazzi Map Collection at the Institute. The editor of IMCoS journal came across the Cortazzi collection when some 60 maps were shown at the Embassy of Japan in London last June. To learn more about IMCoS, please visit:
