David Rumsey Map Collection

Mercator's World Magazine Publishes "State of the Art" by Julie Sweetkind-Singer

Julie Sweetking-Singer, former Map Librarian of the Rumsey Collection, published an article about the collection in Mercator's World Magazine. From the article: "Rumsey is encouraged about the future of historic maps. The very existence of high-resolution copies of maps on the Web will bring these beautiful and important materials to the attention of the general public in ways that have not been possible before. To that prospect, Rumsey concludes, 'I think it bodes well for historic maps and their place in society.' "
