Description Our slide set series includes
36 titles, each consisting of six images with short descriptions and
commentaries. Web versions are now available for many of the printed sets. A
small selection of titles are available only as virtual sets. Print
editions consist of six slides accompanied by a small booklet with printed
commentary, and can be purchased through the Newberry Library Bookstore
(312-255-3520). In 2006 we began creating web versions of some of our most
popular or out of stock/out of print titles. As of 13 April 2006 we no longer
offer special orders on out-of-print titles. The first 5 printed sets feature a
selection of maps from important printed atlases of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. Numbers 6-19 are topical sets selected and commentated by
participants in the Center’s Transatlantic Encounters program for college and
university faculty, which ended in 1989. Numbers 20-27 were produced in 1989 as
a part of the Cartography and History summer institute program funded in part by
the National Endowment for the Humanities. The final seven sets were produced by
participants in “Popular Cartography and Society,” a 2001 summer institute
supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
