We host an Annual Conference in a different city each year. All aspects of map use and mapping are discussed. The diversity of the papers presented at the ANZMapS’s annual conferences reflects the broad range of interests of its members. Topics covered at these conferences include historical maps, map production techniques, the cataloguing and archiving of maps, government policy and technological change.

Our peer-reviewed journal, The Globe, publishes our conference proceedings and other contributions. It is issued twice a year.
