The NY Map Society's first meeting of the new year is next week --
Saturday, January 12th at 2:30 pm, at the NY Public Library.

"Mysterious Mapmakers: Exploring the Impossibly Accurate 16th-Century
Maps of Antarctica and Greenland"

New York Map Society member Les Trager will discuss maps published in
the 16th century that clearly show Antarctica and Greenland. Yet no
known explorer had reached either place at that time. Les will try to
answer a few intriguing questions: From what maps did the early
cartographers copy? Who made the surveys in the first place?

Business Meeting:

January's business meeting is particularly important, since we'll
hold our annual election for Society officers, plus take a vote on a
dues increase. Please remember that only members whose dues are up to
date may particpate in the election and dues vote. So make your vote
count -- if you haven't renewed your membership yet, take advantage
of the current ($20.00) rate. Bring your check to the meeting, made
it out to the New York Map Society, and then place your vote.
