The Library of Congress has just mounted online its current exhibition,
'Maps in our lives'

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/maps/maps-home.html



Divided into Surveying, GIS, Cartography, Geodesy, and featuring material
from other collections as well, this comprises an interesting selection of
thematic maps (including David Woodward's 'Cultural Map of Wisconsin'), but
starts with George Washington's farm through time - a reflection of a
physical exhibition in the James Madison Building until January 6, 2007,
clebrating a 30-year partnership with the American Congress on Surveying and
Mapping.
