DESCRIPTION

The Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the
Boston Public Library cares for more than a quarter million
cartographic and geographic objects, ranging from the fifteenth century
to the present, with a global scope and a focus on Boston and New
England. Created in 2004 as a private-public partnership between
the philanthropist Norman B. Leventhal and the Boston Public Library,
the LMEC is located in the McKim Building at the BPL’s
Central Library in Copley Square. The LMEC features a permanent
exhibition gallery and extensive educational,
interpretive, and research programs focusing on the critical historical
relationship between people and places. The LMEC has a particular focus
on K-12 education, with school programs and resources that encourage
young people’s
curiosity about the world through an understanding of geographic
relationships and processes. Additionally, the LMEC is a leader in
digital humanities initiatives, and many special interactive features
and discovery tools built on digital collections are available
at the Center’s web site. The LMEC’s
collections, exhibitions, lectures,
research seminars, and public interpretive programs are all free and
open to the public. In-person access to the collections are available by
appointment at the LMEC Rare Maps Reading Room.
