La cartographie d'Asie de l'Est à la BnF
The CartAsia program, launched in 2024 as part of BnF's four-year research plan, is studying a large collection of cartographic material from East Asia held in the Library's collections. Conducted by the Department of Maps, with the support of numerous scientific and institutional partners in France and around the world, the aim is to raise awareness of and provide access to this dispersed and hitherto difficult-to-identify corpus. This year's seminar will focus on Korean maps and on the map collections held by Parisian institutions.
