The Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography

Mapline is a subscription newsletter devoted to reporting timely events in the study of the history of cartography. It functions as a bulletin to announce recent acquisitions to the cartographic collections at the Newberry Library, and to keep readers informed of the Center’s work, publications, and sponsored events. The newsletter also contains brief reports on conferences, exhibitions, and societies and lectures beyond the Newberry.
