The Newberry Library Offers "Everyday Maps" Institute for Teachers
June 30  July 25, 2003

The Newberry Library's Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of
Cartography invites school teachers across the United States to apply for
its 2003 NEH summer institute, "Everyday Maps: Teaching and Historical
Perspectives."  The institute, led by Smith Center director James R.
Akerman, will explore the culture and history of commonplace maps and will
help teachers develop skills and strategies for using these maps to teach a
variety of school subjects.  The institute will be held at the Newberry
Library, in the heart of Chicago's Near North Side, from June 30 to July
25, 2003.  During the four weeks of the institute a distinguished faculty
from the fields of geography, history, art history, and literature will
lead participants in a program of lectures, workshops, and collective
discovery of the most common types of maps, including atlases, pedagogic
maps, journalistic cartography, transportation cartography, and maps in
advertising, literature, and the arts.  Participants will have the
opportunity to research and develop their own lesson plans or activities
utilizing the Newberry's internationally renowned collection of historic maps.

Teachers of a wide variety of courses and grade levels, at public and
private schools, are encouraged to apply.  Completed applications must be
postmarked no later than Monday, March 3, 2003.  Successful applicants will
receive a stipend of $2,800 to help defray travel and housing
expenses.  For further information and application materials, contact Susan
Hanf, The Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton Street, Chicago, IL 60610; e-mail
hanfs@newberry.org; phone 312-255-3659.  Information and application
materials are also available at www.newberry.org/K12/everydaymaps.

  "Everyday Maps" is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for
the Humanities.
