He has published extensively on medieval world maps, on British mapmaking in the 16th century, on the British Library's cartographical and topographical collections, and on map use and the relationship between mapping and government in the early modern period.He is Fellow of the Royal Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Historical Society, and the Royal Geographical Society.
