ANZMapS SymposiumWelcome to the ANZMapS Symposium! The symposium will precede a public lecture and workshop on 2 and 3 May 2024 organised by the University of Western Australia exploring the history and legacies of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the Indian Ocean World. Drawing on this theme, the symposium will explore the cartography of the Indian Ocean World reflecting its role in shaping human knowledge, culture and history from antiquity to present. Since ancient times this vast expanse of water has been an important area for trading and exchanging goods, people, culture, and knowledge.The Indian Ocean is central to the world’s climate and biodiversity, its human trade and history. Mapping has been key to our understanding of the Indian Ocean and we will discuss many aspects of cartography. This event will be an excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues in the fields of cartography and surveying, and in related fields where mapping has played a key role.
