    We consider spherical polyhedra, or equivalently 3-connected embedded planar graphs. A self-duality map sends vertices to faces and faces to vertices while preserving incidence. We give six constructions of polyhedra with self-duality maps and show that these constructions yield all such polyhedra. Included is the construction of polyhedra which admit only self-duality maps of large order.
