Maps provide essential and efficient delivery of information for all types
of subjects across time.  Ecology, history, property, archaeology, events
in the news -- all can be clarified by the cartographer's artistic and
scientific hand, or via geographic information systems. During this 2-week
institute you will explore the intricacies of map collecting in local and
national libraries, as well as private collectors. Map librarianship will
be studied in seminars with The New York Public Library's distinguished Map
Librarians, and through visits to local map libraries, map stores and
antiquarian dealers. Participants will draw upon this information and
experience to investigate and evaluate specific research areas and topics.
