The Library of Congress Geography and Map Division is hosting the
WAML Fall Meeting at the Library of Congress, September 16-18, 1998.
The program will provide opportunities to see LCG&MD facilities, view
the collections, and meet and discuss professional issues with the staff
and administrators of the Division. The schedule will intentionally
have plenty of free time for interaction among WAML members and guests and
staff of the Geography and Map Division.
The tentative schedule is below. A final program with registration
information will be sent out VERY soon. This information will be mailed
to WAML members, e-mailed to the WAML member e-mail list and to MAPS-L
and it will posted on the WAML Website at
http://gort.ucsd.edu/mw/waml/WAMLFM98.htm
See information at the end of this message to help you reserve your own
lodging in the Washington DC area.

Lodging
Because of the many options for lodging in the Washington, D.C. area, we
have not chosen a conference hotel. We recommend staying at one of the many
hotels in the Rosslyn area, which is located just across the Potomac from
Georgetown. The Rosslyn Metro Station is served by the Orange and Blue
Lines, both of which stop at Capitol South, the metro stop closest to the
Library of Congress. For information on hotels in the area, see the
Arlington
County, Virginia Visitor's Services Web Site
(http://www.co.arlington.va.us/arlcty/acvs/index.htm). They have a list of
hotels in Arlington (http://www.co.arlington.va.us/arlcty/acvs/hotels.htm)
and a map showing hotels in the Rosslyn area
(http://www.co.arlington.va.us/arlcty/acvs/graphics/hotel4.gif).
Capitol Reservations (http://www.capitolreservations.com), a hotel booking
service for Washington, D.C. area hotels, can book some of the Rosslyn area
hotels at a discounted rate. Their telephone number is 1-800-VISIT-DC
(1-800-847-4832).
