Its purpose is to reveal for the general public and university community the tip of an iceberg of historical map resources that has not always been associated with the university. It is launched on the occasion of the 24th annual <a href="http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/huminst/" TARGET="_top">Institute for Research in the Humanities</a> Burdick-Vary symposium on Cartography in the European Renaissance (6-8 April 2000). The symposium is intended as a forum for issues arising out of the research for Volume Three of the <a href="http://feature.geography.wisc.edu/histcart/" TARGET="_top">History of Cartography Project</a>. <p>David Woodward, Director <br>The History of Cartography Project <center> <p><font size=+1>Exhibit Hours</font> <p>9AM to 5PM Monday-Friday <br>April through June 2000 <p><font size=+1>Exhibit Location</font> <p>9th Floor of the Memorial Library <br>Department of Special Collections <br>University of Wisconsin—Madison <br>728 State Street, Madison, WI</center> </body>
