The Work of Women Cartographers, on Campus and Beyond!

Celebrate the opening of the exhibit “Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps, Campus Traditions, and the Women Who Made Them" with us! See an original copy of the iconic, century-old “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map alongside some of our favorite maps by women cartographers and a selection of maps showing how campus has been mapped over time.

Join us (on the 2nd floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library, Clark Library, International Studies, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a poster.
