Check out our new website at www.leventhalmapcenter.org
<http://www.leventhalmapcenter.org/> or map.bpl.org. It just launched
the beginning of the week.

The Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library
announces the launch of its website this week.

This initial version of the website includes digital images of
approximately 200 maps from the Library’s collections. Our plans are to
add more maps as they are scanned. These digital files are accessible
through “zoomify.” The site also includes virtual tours of two past
exhibitions, and a Map of the Month and a Maps in the News feature. The
former will be updated monthly, while the second will be updated
quarterly. The virtual tours and Maps in the News include educational
suggestions for teachers at the K-12 levels. You can check out the web
site at www.leventhalmapcenter.org <http://www.leventhalmapcenter.org/>
or map.bpl.org.
