H-65. _*Introduction*_ to Printed Maps
(http://www.rarebookschool.org/courses/history/h65/)
Alice Hudson, assisted by Joel Kovarsky (14-18 June 2010)
This course provides a general overview of maps as social, cultural,
intellectual tools and their place in the library and the academy.
It is intended for rare book curators, generalists, conservators,
map librarians, antiquarian dealers and collectors who seek to focus
on the particular nature of the cartographic materials that impact
their work or interests. A mix of presentations, including slides,
group exercises, hands on work with maps, atlases and globes, will
familiarize students with the map as artifact. This course will be a
prerequisite for future RBS map courses in the cataloging of rare
maps, preservation of prints and maps, and courses devoted to
Ptolemy / Sanson / Blaeu, &c.
Although this course is intended to introduce map history,
participants will derive most from the course if they have already
been exposed to the problems in understanding maps and who might
eventually take advanced courses in this subject at Rare Book
School. Such participants might include rare book librarians,
conservators, map librarians, map collectors, and map dealers.
In their personal statement, applicants should describe the nature
of their developing interest in the history of the map, their
expectations of the course, and the purposes to which they propose
to put the knowledge gained from the course.
