H-Maps (2019- )
"H-Maps is an international digital forum in the historical study of the making, circulation, use and preservation of maps from the ancient to the contemporary period. Because of its international nature, H-Maps welcomes contributions in world languages, including (but not limited to) English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. H-Maps is a collaboration between the International Society for the History of the Map (ISHMap) and H-Net to further substantive inquiry among a growing number of global scholars with an interest in the history of maps and mapping."

ISHMap-list (2014-18)
'This list is open, free and inclusive'. Messages are posted to subscribers once accepted by the list moderators, who 'will be anxious to forward all relevant postings to the subscribers within one day at the latest'.
The list Archive is publicly accessible, but the list of subscribers is not made available.
MapHist Forum (2012-14)
MapHist list (1994-2012)
The MapHist Archive:
The partial Archive, covering just 9 August 2009 to 16 January 2012, is still accessible Here. If you click on the underlined 'Date' it will show those in the left
margin. Each page covers about two months. You can search for a keyword or, via Advanced search, specify a date range. The default sequence
gathers the posts in a thread together.
Not ideal but it is at least theoretically possible to retrieve all messages from the last three and a half years of the list. An important advantage is that you can retrieve via the unique URL for a particular post (once you have identified it!). The numbers range from /msg00003.html to /msg03349.html.
The Australian and New Zealand Map Society runs an email list, amcircle, "a group interested in the creation, appreciation, dissemination and archiving of maps".
A private subscription list to keep interested individuals informed about Center developments, e.g. with the Barrington Atlas Updates - see also 'Early Epochs'.
"A discussion list for anthropomorphic maps [started October 2003]. These maps were created by configuring the body of a god or goddess on the face of the earth. The name of each part of that body became the name of the area or feature underneath that part.
Examples include the Blackfoot indian map of Napi in Alberta, Canada; the Phoenician map of a male body (probably Hermes) in Asia minor; and the map of a female body (probably Aphrodite) in northern Africa."
