University Staff Cartographers and Cartographic Laboratories in North America University Geographic Services, Cartography, Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing Laboratories Questions? Contact webmaster@nacis.org Last updated: January 2011 Barbara Trapido-Lurie Design and construction, cartographic and information graphics. Digital output: files, 35-mm high-resolution slides, 600-dpi laserprints, other output through local service providers. Traditional photomechanical production also available. Ball State University Connie McOmber Cartographic Services in the Department of Geography provides cartographic production for the faculty and administration of Ball State University. California State University-San Bernardino Mark Kumler
Robert Provin The lab consists of two rooms, one with 22 Macintosh computers and two 600 dpi printers, and the other with 10 IBM NT computers, a HP workstation, two digitizers, and a HP755 large-format plotter. The Department also maintains several servers for geographic databases. The Department has a large map library and houses a large collection of Sanborn Fire Maps. Centre de Recherche Thierry JOLIVEAU This line of research globally aims at integrating the analysis of physical and natural processes within the framework of a concerted management of space. The researches then turn on rather naturalistic questions : regionalizing ecosystems, vegetation map-making, evolution of the rivers' functioning. Most of the time, however, the observance of management purposes leads to analyze in the same time the social dynamics observable on the territory of reference and to integrate stake-holders' logics and representations. Most of the line's works converge on one point : the execution of spatialized information management computer tools (geographical information systems (GIS) ; teledetection) around which the C.R.E.N.A.M. has developed methodological and technical skills since 1989. Florida State University James R. Anderson, Jr., Associate in Research The FREAC cartography laboratory provides services to public agencies and university departments including: preparation of maps and graphs for publication, and typesetting and layout for books and brochures. As a state affiliate with the USGS Earth Science Information Center (ESIC), the laboratory offers several map sets for Florida, and provides information on how to access map and photo information from state and federal agencies.

The Gyula Pauer Center for Cartography & GIS at the University of Kentucky lies within the "realm" of the geography department. Therefore, we satisfy the department's cartographic needs whether it be an individual map for a faculty member's journal article submission or hundreds of graphics for a geography textbook or atlas. Our scope is very broad based as is our clientele. We support the cartographic needs of all university departments, some state agencies, as well as private individuals and organizations in the community. We produce, primarily, thematic maps for our clients, but have been known to produce an occasional reference map (e.g. map of Lexington and environs, UK campus map). During our more than thirty years of mapmaking we have made thousands of maps for a diverse clientele.
