We are working with Denver Public Schools on developing a new geographic curriculum and there are simply not enough maps to go around. Reading a map is a key part of understanding simple spatial relationships, and we do not even have enough maps to ensur e that all social studies classes have a few to integrate into their curriculum. We are short at the secondary level, and do not even talk about the elementary level! (which is the perfect place to start geographic discussions - little kids are so curiou s about where they are [and where Disneyland is...]) I know that we are always looking for maps. The more types and areas of concentration, the better. From old political maps to current USGS surveys, they can all be put into the curriculum. In other words, we would love to have all of your extra/duplicate maps!

Typically we deal with a professor wanting specific titles, or someone in charge of outfitting a new lecture room, etc. We also get requests for older editions of wall maps - a map printed between WWI and WWII, prior to WWI, etc. Typically these come from a history department. As Dave said, what is trash to you is probably someone else's ideal teaching aid. High schools can often use cast-off wall maps.
