SUMMARY:Exhibit- Pearls of the Antilles: Printed Maps of Caribbean Islands
DESCRIPTION:
 Pearls of the Antilles: Printed Maps of Caribbean 
 Islands \n
 \n
 October 1, 2012 through February 
 9, 2013\n
 \n
 Few people would argue that Caribbean 
 islands have not played pivotal roles 
 in American history.  From Columbus' discoveries 
 to the U.S. Guantanamo Bay prison debate, 
 events on islands of the West Indies have impacted 
 our history. While most of these islands 
 are not that distant, our personal knowledge 
 of them is often scant. With the help of 
 old maps, there are interesting facts to learn 
 and more importantly, connections for us to 
 make. Old printed maps of the Caribbean islands 
 depict not only the geography of the islands 
 but also reflect many of the themes of Caribbean 
 (and American) history as well as cartographic 
 history.  \n
 \n
 Pearls of the Antilles: 
 Printed Maps of Caribbean Islands shows how 
 maps of the Caribbean incorporate many of the 
 themes of cartographic history found in maps 
 of other geographical areas, from technical 
 developments to increasing diversification 
 in types of maps, and from leading "national 
 schools" in certain time periods to such themes 
 as the growth of a tourist map industry. \n
 \n
