If you’ve ever wondered which of our maps were the most popular with our visitors and researchers from this past year, here’s your chance!
We’ve run the numbers and in this From the Vault, we’re here to show you some of our most popular maps of the last year! At the LMEC, we have over a quarter million maps in our collection and more than 14,000 digitized and available through our digital collection portal. There are some maps that remain ever popular, but there are certainly some maps that may surprise you.
See if you can guess which was the most viewed!
This free showing will be hosted Friday, December 19 in the Leventhal Map & Education Center with a staff member available to answer questions. Drop in any time between 2:00PM - 4:00PM. No reservation is required.
From The Vault
The Leventhal Map & Education Center cares for more than a quarter million cartographic and geographic objects, including maps, atlases, charts, globes, gazetteers, ephemera, research texts, and data sets. With such an extensive collection, it is likely that many of these objects will never be included in exhibitions for public viewing.
Our latest series, From The Vault, attempts to remedy that limitation. From The Vault is a biweekly, casual collections showing of objects selected by Leventhal Center staff. These drop-in sessions do not include a formal presentation, though Leventhal Center staff will be available to interpret objects, chat, and answer questions.
