Colleagues -

If you are unable to attend any of the professional meetings, recently
announced by David McQuillan, but are planning to be traveling in New
England this summer you might be interested to know that there will be
three excellent cartographic exhibits all within easy driving distance
of each other. Opening first will be the Cartographic Treasures at
Harvard exhibit which will coincide with the 20th International
Conference on the History of Cartography (ICHC) and will run from June
16th through September 2003. Also coinciding with this conference will
be an exhibit at the Osher Map Library in Portland, Maine entitled:
Mapping the Republic: Conflicting Concepts of the Territory and
Character of the USA, 1790-1900 with smaller exhibits at the Maine
Historical Society and the Portland Museum of Art. And, if that is not
enough, you can then travel to the Concord Museum in Concord, Mass. to
view Degrees of Latitude: Maps of America from the Colonial Williamsburg
Collection from July 10 - October 19, 2003.
