The Rocky Mountain
Map Society

The Rocky Mountain Map Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and appreciation of maps, cartographic history, the history of exploration and discovery, maps as art, and other areas of cartographic interest. Public outreach by the Society to provide education in maps and history is performed by providing speakers, exhibits, and instruction to its members as well as to public schools, adult education programs, and other outside forums. It also co-sponsors with the Denver Public Library an annual Antique Map Fair with lectures and dealer displays from around the world. The Society is a founding member of the Council of North American Map Societies and works closely with the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress. Recognized internationally, the Society hosted the 2001 Annual Meeting of the Society for the History of Discoveries as well as the 2005 Conference of the International Map Collectors Society, both in Denver. The Society was formed in 1991 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
