TINA/CA "MAPPING VIRGINIA" >The Library of Virginia invites you to visit its new online >exhibition, Mapping Virginia, offering a marvelous sampling >of the many types of maps created by and for Virginians in >past 400 years. Mapping Virginia draws heavily on the >historical maps in the Library's extraordinary collection >of more than 65,000 maps. As the online exhibition >illustrates the history of cartography in Virginia reflects >the pivotal role of the Old Dominion as a leader in much of >the political, military and economic history of the United >States. With sections covering Surveyors and Mapmakers, >Mapping Technology, Vision of Empire, Building the >Commonwealth, The Geography of Culture and Educators' >Lesson Plans, the exhibition is a fascinating look at >cartography and mapmaking.
