Both the City Tech and public library (including the map) are closed tomorrow because of the whether emergency. We look forward to seeing you in class on Thursday.

Preparing a little for Tuesday’s field trip, I found these overviews to New York Public Library Map division and NYC Maps. Spend a little time taking a look at these: they will make Tuesday’s class more meaningful.

You can see from the overview to the library’s map collection that they have many useful resources, both in print and online, that you can use for your research. They also have software tools onsite if you eventually want to play around with comparing maps or incorporating quantitative data with maps.

I am waiting to hear back from Artis, the librarian who will do our workshop, about details related to coat check and other restrictions like pens. I will post a map and other details when I know more.

Please make more of an effort to be on time this Tuesday–we want to start all our archives visits no later than 10:45.

Update! Thurs. 3/9/17 we’re going to the NY Historical Society 77th St. & Central Park West.

Meet specifically at the entrance on Central Park West. Remember to bring: 5 sheets of paper and a pencil! We may also be able to bring in our sketchbooks. Photography is allowed without flash. We will be expected to check out bags, coats, etc.

Next meeting at the “Brooklyn Bridge Park / DUMBO” terminal
Old Fulton St & Furman St, Brooklyn, NY at 10:30AM.

Near The Fulton Ferry Landing pier

Just a reminder today we’re meeting at “Jacob Mould Fountain” (43 Park Row, New York, NY 10038) in City Hall Park. Near the cross streets of Broadway and Park Place. We will be starting promptly at 10:30AM.
