The Image of Maps • Maps of the Imagination (A One Day Conference • 13 May 2006) Historically, the creation of maps has been at the intersection of a broad spectrum of issues that include the relationship between art and science, the philosophy of space, cultural and political geographies, among many others. In this way, maps are cultural products which express the beliefs of those who created them, and as such are an index to ideas that are not expressed in other extant texts. Second, this symposium aims to address the concept of mapping as a means of creating structures that are not limited to the organization of space, but which rather use the metaphor of mapping as a means to organize the world. The process of creating mental maps is one example of this, and it can also be argued that, historically, people have used the metaphor of mapping as a means of organizing encyclopaedic knowledge, aiding memory, meditation, and other forms of invention.: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~ball2144/

"Who Knew Online Maps Would Be Such A Big Deal?" : http://techdirt.com/articles/20050816/0056251_F.shtml (retrospective reflection question?)
Memory Maps (http://www.localprojects.net/mmaps/mmaps.shtml ) : was a system of enormous street maps of New York City which allowed visitors to share their stories of the city by anchoring memories to specific locations.
TIMESCAPES (http://www.localprojects.net/ts/ts_demo.shtml ) : Over thirty-five new digital maps of New York were custom created for the film, demonstrating the delicate interplay between the land, water, transportation and commerce that produced the immense metropolis that is New York today.

Here's a fun tongue-in-cheek Graphic Standards Manual to help you design like collage artist/activist Barbara Kruger (juxtaposing text with imagery). As Barbara herself stated, pictures and words have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren't.

And the mastery of that skill is clearly at least part of what gives members of this list so much pleasure. So no, everyone does not know a map when they see it, nor do they know it in the deeper sense of having some real knowledge -- if that were true, no one here would need to do the work they do." - Sylvia Tomasch Ph.D., CUNY Graduate Center, New mailto:York990stomasch@honorscollege.cuny.edu

Information Cartography; "... the process of building information maps or models based on data that is not geocoded (non-spatial, non-geographic data that has no real-world co-ordinates); and (usually) using the extensive functions of Geographic Information System (GIS) software. It draws on the metaphor of an information landscape populated by information objects, or landmarks, which form an information map." : http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/~cs171/LJOld/InformationCartography/information_cartography.htm

"Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all.

TimeMap TMJava is a novel mapping applet which generates complete interactive maps with a few simple lines of html. It provides a way of easily enriching web pages with historical or contemporary information that goes far beyond static jpg map images. It's easy for beginners, yet provides completely customisable power and distributed backend database connectivity for the expert. It's free for personal use. : http://www.timemap.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=172&Itemid=151
