NACIS

NACIS logo

NACIS (North American Cartographic Information Society) is a US-based cartographic society founded in 1980. Originally founded by and for academics interested in cartography (e.g. map librarians, cartography professors and cartography lab directors), it now represents a broad mixture of academic, government and commercial interests, with a sizeable proportion of working cartographers.

Membership

The membership is largely from the United States, though a small steady international presence can be felt.

Conference

NACIS hosts an annual conference in the fall. The 2006 conference was held in Madison, Wisconsin, the 2007 conference was held in St Louis, Missouri, and the 2008 conference was held in Missoula, Montana. The 2009 conference will be held in Sacramento, California.

Publications

NACIS publishes a triannual journal, Cartographic Perspectives.

Sponsors

The organization is a major sponsor of CartoTalk, an online forum on cartography, and of MapGiving, an initiative begun in 2008 to coordinate pro bono work by groups of cartographers.
