The Paigh Gazetteer Program.

Abstract

In March of 1980, PAIGH authorities approved a new program calling for the production of a series of national gazetteers. The gazetteers are to be based principally on names appearing on the PAIGH map series at 1:250,000, but will also include other names in accordance with national requirements. A meeting of a Gazetteer Working Group comprised of representatives of interested countries took place in Panama during July 1981. At that meeting, discussions centered on the development of common specifications for the gazetteers. Decisions were made regarding gazetteer format and the establishment of work and production schedules by participating nations. This paper describes the gazetteer program in detail and reports on the current status of work. (Author)
