Join reference librarians Cynthia Smith and Amelia Raines as we explore maps and atlases by several important cartographers in the Library of Congress collections. This orientation session will provide an overview of a series of research guides focused on prominent cartographers. We'll also discuss how to search for works by specific mapmakers and creators in the Library's catalog and online collections, and resources for learning more about their lives. The session will end with a Q&A.
