GROUP TOUR OF THE AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY
American Geographical Society Library at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, in the Golda Meir Library
The American Geographical Society Library (AGSL), one of the premier collections of its kind in North America, contains nearly 2 million items supporting instruction, research and outreach at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and around the world. The collection has been at UW-Milwaukee since 1978, and through the years, the collections have expanded and presently comprise items including maps, atlases, books, journals, pamphlets, photographs, slides, Landsat images, and digital spatial data.
Georgia Brown, Public Services Librarian, will begin our tour with a presentation on the resources in the AGS Library, followed by time to browse materials on display having genealogical research significance such as old maps and gazetteers. Come armed with any geographical questions you may have. A short business meeting will precede Georgia’s presentation.
