MapRecord Publications Information

MapRecord Publications was founded in 2002 by Jeremy Pool. The goal of the company is to bring modern software technology to bear on a distinctly non-modern activity: collecting. The company's current focus is on collecting in general, but the company continues to have a secondary focus on the particular sub-specialty of map collecting. The first product produced by MapRecord Publications in 2002 was a CD-ROM version of the Antique Map Price Record, the leading source of information about the trade in antiquarian maps. This was an annual publication, with ten editions produced between 2002 and 2011. The Antique Map Price Record part of our business was sold in 2012, and continues, under its new owners, at oldmaps.com. In 2007 MapRecord Publications introduced its first product aimed at all kinds of collections: Recollector (originally named the "M.R.P. Collection Manager"), a tool that allows a collector to catalog, organize, and document any kind of collection. This flexible software allows collectors to bring together text and images (and audio and video clips, if desired) about their collection, which they can view and update on their PC or Mac and, optionally, view on their smartphone or tablet. Versions of the smartphone app are available for iPhone/iPod, for iPad and for Android smartphones or tablets.
