University of Delaware professor, Martin Brückner, tells the story of American cartography during its formative decades following the Revolution. Exploring the social life of maps from production to consumption, this amply illustrated lecture examines the take-off phase of American map making, with particular emphasis on the ways in which economics, graphic design, and public education transformed maps into a formidable medium shaping everyday life in early America.

This program is designed for people affected with early to mid-stage Alzheimer's and other memory loss with their care-partners. We will use our collections to renew and build social connections in which all can participate and enjoy. It does not require a background in art, nor does it rely on memory.

Artist Paul Scott presents insights on his artistic process at this special lecture.
