--- Begin Forwarded Message --- Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 13:26:45 -0600 From: Stroeve <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Chicago Map Society Meeting The January meeting of the Chicago Map Society will take place on Thursday, 21 Jan 1999 from 5:30 - 7:00 PM at the Towner Fellows' Lounge, The Newberry Library, 60 W Walton Street. The meeting is free to members, $5 for non-members. The topic will be "Representing the Pacicif: Maps and Narratives 1519-1605" and is presented by Mercedes Maroto Camino of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Ms. Mercedes Maroto Camino is a Senior Lecturer in the School of European Languages and Literatures at the University of Auckland and has been at the Newberry Library since November as a History of Cartography Research Fellow. She has graciously agreed to share with us some results of her current research on the relationships between maps and accounts of the Pacific Ocean in the 16th century. Perhaps visions of a somewhat warmer climate will serve to thaw us out! Wilbert Stroeve, President Chicago Map Society --- End Forwarded Message ---
