To mark the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Australian Map Curators' Circle (AMCC) - the forerunner of the current Australian and New Zealand Map Society (ANZMapS) - a recently-discovered 1976 interview with the inaugural AMCC chairman, Tom Knight, made just prior to his retirement as Map Curator at the National Library of Australia (NLA), is published for the first time. The interview discusses the state of the NLA map collection, along with important acquisitions and researcher use, and also the state of world cartography in the 1970s. Besides identifying a long-forgotten, uncatalogued and badly damaged 19th century globe in the NLA collection, the interview provides a fascinating window into the state of map curating as a profession, and map-user needs, at the time the Society was founded half a century ago.
