Recently the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg burned down. The market had been around since 1863. You can see it on the 1884 Sanborn Fire Insurance map.

Sometimes we get to see what people do with the maps we help them find. This is a video about Dr. Erica Frankenberg and her research on school segregation. We provided maps of her home town of Mobile Alabama. @PSU_CollegeOfEd youtube.com/watch?v=ZUxs8IXN…

Bird's-eye view maps or perspective drawings were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Library of Congress has created an interactive map that allows you to discover these gems geographically. Enjoy! blogs.loc.gov/maps/2022/12/n…

Our new interactive touch screen display was highlighted on Penn State News. We are super happy with our display that couldn't have happened without funds from Sally Kalin and support from StratTech.
We love showing it off, so come down and take a look.

.@InDaHouse58 is graduating from #pennstate with a geography degree. Working at @MapsLibraryPSU gave him experience that helped him land an internship and job at @tighebond: “My projects helped me hone my GIS skills. I attribute much of my success to my experience at @psulibs.”
