The Society of Cartographers (SoC) was an association of cartographers based in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1964 at the University of Glasgow and named the Society of University Cartographers. In 1989, the Society adopted a new title and constitution opening up membership to anyone who regularly makes maps.
The Society's membership was drawn from a wide range of sectors, including education, government, local government, public utilities, and commercial and publishing industries. The majority of members were based in the UK, but there was also a significant worldwide membership.
The SoC was focused on the continual evolution of the mapping industry and how that related to overlapping disciplines such as GIS, Graphic Design, and Web mapping; and on how maps manifested themselves in today’s society and what that meant to the mapmakers of the day.
