Subject: Chicago Map Society Meeting
 
 
The January meeting of the Chicago Map Society will take place on
Thursday, 21 Jan 1999 from 5:30 - 7:00 PM at the Towner Fellows'
Lounge, The Newberry Library, 60 W Walton Street.  The meeting is
free to members, $5 for non-members.
 
The topic will be
"Representing the Pacicif: Maps and Narratives 1519-1605"
and is presented by Mercedes Maroto Camino of the University of
Auckland, New Zealand.
Ms. Mercedes Maroto Camino is a Senior Lecturer in the School of
European Languages and Literatures at the University of Auckland
and has been at the Newberry Library since November as a History
of Cartography Research Fellow.  She has graciously agreed to
share with us some results of her current research on the
relationships between maps and accounts of the Pacific Ocean in
the 16th century.
Perhaps visions of a somewhat warmer climate will serve to thaw
us out!
 
Wilbert Stroeve, President
Chicago Map Society
