[Proj] Mémoire sur la représentation des surfaces et les projections des cartes (Auguste Tissot, 1881)

[Michael P Finn]

I should have said we. I, along with daan Strebe, Lynn Usery, and Lisa 
Wood, with some assistance from Paul Anderson, are contributing a project 
of the International Cartographic Association Commission on Map 
Projections for an on-line bibliography of map projections. We have 
completed initial input (~ 3,000 listings) of all of John Snyder?s 
Bibliography of Map Projections [Snyder, J.P., and Steward, H. (1988): 
Bibliography of map projections. US Geological Survey Bulletin 1856. 
Washington D.C., U.S. Government Printing Office (updated in 1994)] into 
an EndNote file.

EndNote is a bibliographic management software tool that is commercially 
licensed. We also have all entries from the earlier WIKINDEX attempt that 
was hosted on Mapthematics.com. WIKINDEX is an open source software 
application for the same purpose as EndNote. We are quality controlling 
the entries at this point. Next we will export them from EndNote and 
import them into the latest version of WIKINDEX.

We can either host the bibliography in WIKINDEX on our current test space 
or re-host it on Mapthematics.com. The access to the bibliography will be 
read only. The Chairman of the Commission (currently daan) will provide 
write access to those wishing to update the file. We plan to write an 
article for submission to Cartography and Geographic Information Science 
detailing the history, accomplishments, and future of this project. Lynn 
is currently briefing this information to the International Cartographic 
Conference in Santiago, Chile this week.

Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thanks Charles, very useful. Also interesting would be:

M. Pommiés: Manuel de l'ingénieur du cadastre. Paris 1804

(
http://books.google.nl/books?id=CTIVAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA3-PA30&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=0_1#PPP1,M1
)

the official manual for the Napoleonic cadastre. More practical than 
most of the works you mention, but very important, as it forms the base 
for most cadastral surveys in continental Western Europe in the first 
half of the 19th century.
