WELCOME TO THE 36th IMCOS-SYMPOSIUM-MANILA 2018 SITE

Thank you for attending the 36th IMCOS-SYMPOSIUM-MANILA 2018

from Sunday 14 October  till Wednesday 17 October, organized and curated by the GALLERY OF PRINTS through Rudolf J. H. Lietz, IMCoS Representative Philippines, and

presented by Ayala Museum and GALLERY OF PRINTS,

supported by IMCoS (International Map Collectors’ Society), London, and PHIMCOS (Philippine Map Collectors Society), Manila.

Our theme, INSULAE INDIAE ORIENTALIS, included a morning series of lectures in the Ayala Museum followed by afternoon excursions to the Ortigas Foundation, Lopez Museum and UST Heritage Library featuring rare maps and book collections, normally kept in storage and not open to the public, but which were presented to Symposium participants for this occasion.

In a special exhibition in the Ayala Museum, many of the original antique maps, prints and books presented in the 11 Symposium lectures are shown until Sunday October 28th, 2018 and documented in a full-colour extensive catalogue.  The  “Queen of all Philippine maps” by Fr. Murillo Velarde is shown in more than one example  in the “Murillo Room” – a first in modern times, probably in more than 200 years – together with other later editions and variants by other cartographers and publishers.
