Heritage Charts Logbook

On Thursday the 7th March Heritage Charts was proud to be part of a very special evening held at the Library Society.  The event was a ‘thank-you’ to members of the Society who had already supported the conservation initiative.  As part of this special evening Heritage Charts joined forces with the Library Society to launch a new fund-raising initiative:  The sale of a series of special edition prints from the Heritage Charts collection which are representative of the very charts, maps and plans contained within the Charleston Library Society’s Atlantic Neptune volumes.

As of the 1st April 2012 Heritage Charts and the Charleston Library Society will be releasing a specially selected set of reproduction prints of charts, maps and plans from the Heritage Charts collection, representative of those contained within the Library’s collection of Atlantic Neptune volumes.  A new chart, map or plan will be released approximately every eight weeks thereafter.
