Got some ideas about virtual field trips and want to tell people? There's still time to submit to #AGU21 (Deadline 8/4). I'm co-convening a session on virtual field trips and would love to see what you've got!

Stanford has so many maps in its collection but not enough online reviews to help you figure out which ones are worthy of your time. Our librarians Andria & Andrea are here to help.
Join them as they very seriously review Seutter's map of Love from 1735

What was it like to be a freshman this year, experiencing college from afar? Stanford freshman Lydia Wei felt a bit like old mapmakers, who had to imagine far-off lands that they never visited. In this spirit, she created her own fantastical map of the Stanford campus as a diary.

We partnered with @BrannerLibrary and @NationalHistory to create "Mapsolutely!" a webinar for students and educators.
We discussed how maps can give you insight into the cultures that created them and toured Stanford's rich map resources. #ICYMI
