    The map Interest Committee of the Northern Ohio Bibliophilic
    Society (NOBS) will meet Tuesday, Feb. 21, from 6:00 -
    7:30 p.m. at the Chicago Title Company, 1275 Ontario St.
    in downtown Cleveland.
    Since shortly before the Civil War, Chicago Title and its
    predecessors have been collecting, storing, and researching
    data on local land parcels.
    This is a rare opportunity to visit the private facility
    and to see how maps provide access to a huge volume of
    title records. Bill Barrow will outline the evolution of
    the system during the 19th century.
    Also, stay tuned for info about the April meeting at
    Western Reserve Historical Society with noted Civil War
    map expert David Bosse.
