Please forgive duplicate postings UNLV Libraries launches "Southern Nevada and Las Vegas: History in Maps" website
The UNLV Libraries is proud to announce the launching of "Southern Nevada and Las Vegas: History in Maps," a digital project featuring over 80 historical maps from the UNLV Libraries Special Collections Department, documenting the cartographic history and context of southern Nevada, telescoping in scale from the Western Hemisphere to the streets of Las Vegas. Maps were selected to highlight the collection, both in terms of individually important maps and in the breadth and variety of the collection. These maps provide not only a history of the region through its changing political boundaries, but also a history of map-making and the development of the cartographic knowledge of this area. The website is available at http://www.library.unlv.edu/maps/index.html. This digital exhibit is meant to supplement and enhance the "Nevada History in Maps" digital website by the University of Nevada, Reno already available at http://www.delamare.unr.edu/maps/digitalcollections/nvhistory/ . UNR's website focuses on maps of northern Nevada, while this new website features maps showcasing southern Nevada. Both websites were developed using the CONTENTdm management system. These maps were digitized in the Web and Digitization Services Department of the UNLV Libraries. Other current web, digitization, and digital projects can be viewed at http://www.library.unlv.edu/wds/. --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [email protected]
