     Due to the late notice we received on this exhibit and lecture, it
     looks as if I will not be able to attend Gunther Schilder's talk, as
     Tuesday is our late night here at the olde Library. If possible, I
     would request an attendee to write up the talk and program for the New
     York Map Society newsletter, the NEMO newsletter, etc. If I have a
     volunteer out there, might you email me? Many thanks!!! Alice Hudson

     Dear Mapfolk,
 
     I have just been made aware by a fellow staff member and a researcher
     here in the Research Libraries, NYPL, of an exhibit being held in NYC
     this season. I apologize for the late notice, but encourage map folk
     in the metro area who are interested in Dutch mapping to stop by the
     Equitable Gallery for a look.
     --------------------------------------------------------
     "The Dutch in the Americas 1600-1800"
 
     Curated by Dr. Wim Klooster.

     John Carter Brown Library.

     The exhibition is free and open to the public. The Equitable Gallery,
     787 Seventh Avenue, at 5lst Street, is open 11 am to 5 pm weekdays,
     and 12 noon to 5 pm on Saturdays.

     Also of note, a lecture by  Guenther Schilder, University of Utrecht,
     The Netherlands  6:30 pm, Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1998 in The Equitable
     Tower, 787 Seventh Avenue, 49th Floor.
 
     Jim Raleigh says to bring your cameras to shoot the view, after dark!
 
     FYI, the Map Division, NYPL, is just a few blocks south and east of
     the Equitable Gallery, and we will be open February 10th, from
     11-7:30. So if you are in town for Guenther's lecture, stop by and say
     hello! We'll even let you touch our Blaeus...
