[Practical information] [Statutes] [Roots of Cartozoology]

The Norwegian Cartozoologic Society was conceived on the 18th of March 1974, on a plane between Oslo and Reykjavik, but the official day of foundation was Thursday 19th of June 2003 (4.30pm), at Tekehtopa restaurant in Oslo.

Present at the foundation were Eilert Sundt, Roger Pihl and Tor Åge Bringsværd.

To commemorate the day of foundation, the Society has chosen as its logo what is known in cartozoological circles as the ur-fish.

The aims of the Society is to map the hidden and twodimensional aminal life in our close surroundings.

The first area of research is Oslo, capital of Norway. It is the Society's intention to publish the results of this cartozoological research, ie under the title Oslo's Animal Life (or some other title that might be better suited).
