About ACMLA
ACMLA actively serves as the representative professional group for Canadian map librarians, cartographic archivists and
others interested in geographic information in all formats. Since its inception in 1967, the achievements of the Association
have been notable, including a vigorous publishing program, development of professional standards and international
cataloguing rules, and efforts to increase national awareness of issues concerning spatial information and recognition of the
contribution of map libraries and cartographic archives.

- To create and maintain an active communication network for the exchange of information among members and the cartographic community.
- To support the research and professional development activities of members through publications, conferences and seminars.
