The Evolution of the Atlas of Canada, 1906–2006

Abstract

The atlas is seen as a system of objective information whose compilation is justified by its direct contribution to utilitarian decision-making as, for example, in national and local planning. On the other hand, the atlas is seen as refining and extending the reader’s perception of a nation, in which case, the atlas contributes to national self-awareness and cultural development. Surely, both opinions are valid and neither purpose is necessarily exclusive of the other. (1979, 4)
