The first centenary of "Geodesy and Cartography" journal. History and prospects

The author presents the main milestones in the history of the journal “Geodesy and Cartography”. Over the 100 years of its existence, the status, appearance and contents of the publication have changed. Founded as a joint body of the Military Topographic and Higher Geodetic Administrations, the “Geodesy and Cartography” is currently a mass-medium of the CIS geodetic services.
