Perhaps a topic of some research that one of our fellowships could sponsor?? (Read below) Angie * Fellowships for 2011 at the American Geographical Society Library * Applications deadline October 18, 2010 The American Geographical Society Library, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries, welcomes applications for two short-term fellowship programs: *McColl Research Program fellowships.* This is a short-term fellowship program available to individuals who wish to communicate their geographical research results to a broad, educated general audience.

Also identified two maps so far that SU has that weren't in the National Archives. John John M.
