Imago Mundi-the International Journal For The History Of Cartography is a unique scholarly journal focused on the history and interpretation of early maps and their making. As the only international, interdisciplinary academic journal dedicated to this field, it provides a valuable academic exchange platform for scholars in cartography, history, geography and related fields.

The magazine's articles not only cover the techniques, styles, and uses of maps, but also delve into the meaning and influence of maps in different cultures and historical periods. Through these studies, the journal aims to reveal how maps serve as a tool for humans to perceive the world and express geographical knowledge, and their role in the course of history. A wide range of map types are covered, including but not limited to ancient maps, medieval maps, nautical charts, military maps, and scientific maps. These maps are not only from Europe, but also cover other parts of the world, such as Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. This global perspective allows the journal to provide a comprehensive framework for the study of cartographic history.
