Welcome to our website. We will periodically put various announcements on this page, which may deal with new lists, books, maps, fairs, or other things of general interest. Our most recent list may be seen via its link on the menu to the left. Those same items will also show with any general search of our inventory.
We have taken the time to provide a great deal of information for the collector. Please note the pages constructed pertaining to general web resources, care of old maps, and use of book search engines on the web. An annotated list of reference books for the beginning map collector has just been added (see navigation bar under bibliography).
Joel teaches a brief introductory course in the history of cartography for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville. The course is titled "The Roles of Old Maps: History, Art, Cartography and the Building of Nations", and consists of six 1.5 hour segments (four lectures and two sessions in special collections). Registration is limited to 20 persons, and the class will next be taught in the spring of 2008. The special collections segments will be held at the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library of the University of Virginia. The other four segments will be held in the Jefferson Library at Monticello.
We will be exhibiting at the fifteenth annual Miami International Map Fair, to be held at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, on Feb. 2nd and 3rd, 2008.
Thank you for visiting! We hope you will do so again, many times.
