In honor of our pictorial map display, here is good one. There are so many things wrong, but you can't help but like it. jstor.org/.../e98a907d-f…...

Recently the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg burned down. The market had been around since 1863. You can see it on the 1884 Sanborn Fire Insurance map. pennlive.com/news/2023/07/c… digital.libraries.psu.edu/digital/collec…

Sometimes we get to see what people do with the maps we help them find. This is a video about Dr. Erica Frankenberg and her research on school segregation. We provided maps of her home town of Mobile Alabama. @PSU_CollegeOfEd youtube.com/watch?v=ZUxs8I…

Bird's-eye view maps or perspective drawings were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Library of Congress has created an interactive map that allows you to discover these gems geographically. Enjoy! blogs.loc.gov/maps/2022/12/n…

Meet an adorable little cartographer, Fergus! At the opening conversation of this year's annual meeting, after discussing the important mappy stuff, we shared pets! #WAML2022 #Maps #Cats

@wamlrobot Fergus enjoyed a great day with us. He's sitting on a display copy (not the original) of the Welcome to State College map by Michael Sutherland PSU '16. catalog.libraries.psu.edu/catalog/181541…

@wamlrobot Fergus is the unofficial mascot of the @MapsLibraryPSU.

@PSULiberalArts @goRoadGoat We love Ishaan and will miss him terribly. We know he will go far.

Ishaan is the son of Prashant and Harshada Anavkar of Dubai, UAE. He was a maps and geospatial information assistant at @MapsLibraryPSU and a geospatial data and product testing intern at @goRoadGoat. Ishaan plans to pursue a doctorate and go on to teach as a professor.

Congrats to Ishaan Anavkar, our spring 2022 International Politics student marshal! 👏🎉 A Paterno Fellow and Schreyer Scholar, he is graduating with B.A. degrees in @PSUHistory, International Politics (@psupolisci), and @psugeography, with minors in @PSU_Anthro and Linguistics.

Our new interactive touch screen display was highlighted on Penn State News. We are super happy with our display that couldn't have happened without funds from Sally Kalin and support from StratTech. We love showing it off, so come down and take a look. psu.edu/news/academics…
