Amherst Antiquarian Maps was founded by Jon and Bernice Rosenthal as Cartographics in 1978. When we moved to Amherst from Connecticut in the mid '80s, the name was changed to reflect our location and our commercial focus. In 1992, we took on the stewardship of David Jolly's Antique Map Price Record. We have published 6 print volumes through the 2000 edition. For Volume 17 for 2001-2002, we teamed up with Jeremy Poole as we switched to an an all encompassing electronic edition which replaced the print version. Jeremy took over as the sole publisher with Volume 18. Annually updated editions are now available on a CD-ROM for Windows from www.MapRecord.com.
