Abstract:
They are long out of date and they were large-size and not as convenient as today's GPS, but without those maps of centuries ago, people then would have been lost. Huler visits Jay Lester to examine his collection of original, highly prized old maps, some dating back to the 16th century. Huler discusses what can be learned about history and people from these colorful creations by the cartographers of the day and what the maps of today will tell the future generations about us. He and Lester make a visit to the Vault Room at UNC Wilson Library to see the map collection there.
