Maps Galore: Finding and Using Online Maps from the Library of Congress

ONLINE

Saturday, August 6 10 - 11:30 PDT

Presented by 

Annette Burke Lyttle

You can participate online via Zoom or purchase viewing privileges (available a few days after the event & until September 9)

Maps can be important for our research and can also help us make our ancestors' stories come to life. The Library of Congress has over 56,000 maps available online, covering the Colonial era to the present day and including fire insurance maps, landowners maps, battlefield maps, and many more. Learn how to find and use these maps to understand the world of our ancestors and help tell their stories.

The event will take place via Zoom. If you join, please sign in early to make sure you are able to see the program.  We will send you instructions the night before, and a reminder shortly before the event, which will give you access. Our remote classes now have live closed captioning. When registering, use an email address you will be checking. Please note all times are Pacific Time.
