The Australian and New Zealand Map Society (ANZMapS), a society incorporated[1] in Victoria, Australia, is a group of map producers, users and curators, which acts as a medium of communication for all those interested in maps. Membership of the ANZMapS is available to anyone who has an interest in maps.[2]
The society was formed in 2009 by the merger of the Australian Map Circle (founded in 1973 as the Australian Map Curator's Circle), and the New Zealand Map Society (founded 1977).
The society holds an annual conference,[3] publishes a peer-reviewed journal The Globe (ISSN 0311-3930), and a newsletter.
