Historian and author Christian J. Koot, PhD, joins us for an in-depth lecture on maps of Colonial Era Maryland, pulled from MCHC’s collections. Koot will analyze the inaccuracies within the geographic details, people, languages, and scale that are characteristic of the time, and give insight as to how cartographers gathered and presented such information.
Doors open at 10:30 am. Lecture begins at 11:00 am. Light reception to follow.
