SERVICES
For almost five decades, Cartographic Services has been providing quality maps and illustrations for scholarly books, atlases, journal papers, seminar presentations and theses.
A starting point for any map or illustration could be a rough field sketch, mud maps, an idea, photocopied examples or a few notes. Works can also be produced from scratch using digital datasets, Landsat imagery, and georeferenced base information or by manipulating your source material to produce a customised map or illustration.
Utilising sophisticated geographic information systems and graphics/illustrating software, works can be produced in colour and/or black and white with final digital files to publication specifications.
We strive for excellence in presentation, aiming to enhance and complement the written work.

HISTORY
Cartographic Services has been in existence since the late 1950's. Originally Cartography was set up as part of the Geography Department and later the Department of Human Geography. The office was housed in the 'Old Hospital Building' on Mills road before moving into the newly completed Coombs Building in 1964.
In 1991 Cartographic Services became a School wide service, free to all departments within RSPAS.
