-------- Original Message -------- Subject: BPL's new website (forwarded) Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 15:22:10 -0400 From: Paige Andrew <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] 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 Librarys 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. Ronald E. Grim Curator of Maps Norman B.
