We always love a visit from @tsmullaney and his students! The major takeaway? The inherent interdisciplinary, and storytelling, nature of maps. So, no matter what you’re studying, we 10/10 recommend that you give the @StanfordLibs map collections a gander!

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

One cannot have too much fun with maps! Sure, this video was made for high school students but if you’re new to thinking about and using maps more broadly, it’s worth a view 🗺
