What did Boston look like during the American Revolution? How can historic maps be used for genealogical research? How has Copley Square changed over time? Join the Leventhal Map and Education Center for a deep dive on geographic research! This talk will introduce the Map Center’s resources, including a demonstration of the Digital Collections portal and an optional tour of their current exhibition, More or Less in Common: Environment and Justice in the Human Landscape, located just upstairs in the McKim Building.
This program is presented as part of the Boston Public Library's Never Too Late Group created with older adults in mind and in partnership with the Leventhal Map and Education Center at the BPL. Due to the ample seating available in the Rabb Lecture Hall, registration is not required; instead, seating is first come, first served.
