Between January 2004 and June 2011 The Map Room was published using Movable Type. The following categories were used. After a while they got a bit unwieldy (tags would have helped), so I’m starting fresh with the 2016 relaunch. The old categories are included here for the sake of completeness, and in case you find it useful.
