Harold Fullard was Cartographic Director of George Philip, publishers, and past chairman of the International Cartographic Association Publications Committee. He was also external examiner for the Diploma in Cartography at Oxford Polytechnic from 1964 - 1982. His personal collection of atlases, textbooks and journals, was assembled over a period of 50 years.
