There was a cartographer named Bart
The land and the oceans did chart
He mapped them all
But instead of a ball 🌍
He turned the world into a heart❤️

"I am told there are people who do not care for maps, and I find it hard to believe." R.L. Stevenson.
We couldn't agree more with Stevenson. So this #Archive30 we'll be sharing lots of mappy goodness from the 2 million maps and atlases in our collection. #YourArchive #DayOne
If you want to order a print of an historical map from our collection as a Christmas present, get your order in by midnight today, 10th December 2021, to be sure it will arrive in time for Christmas.
'Him work is to make thin and crushable
all that is big and as real as ourselves; is to make flat
all that is high and rolling'
This #NationalPoetryDay we're loving The Cartographer Tries to Map a Way to Zion by @keimiller.

Good morning everyone! Thought we’d share some #mountains with you this Monday morning.
