Map Library's Third Thursday

Third Thursday at the Map Library
University of Michigan, Hatcher Graduate Library, 8th floor, Rm. 825
Thursday April 16, 4:00-7:00 pm

This month we will be showcasing classic automobile road maps of the 1920's through the 1960's. The Map Library has a large collection of vintage road maps which were distributed by oil companies, state highway departments, and automobile associations. Artists were often hired to design beautiful stylized maps, map panels, and advertisements which were used to entice potential travelers into adventuring out onto the open road. Many of the maps that will be on display were received last year as part of a large and generous gift from Tom Beauvais. Please join us.
