<div class="gmail_quote">Dear all,<br><br>If I may put in a plug for the AGS (American Geographical Society) Library, it's a wonderful resource and well worth a visit. The library houses one of the largest cartographic collections in North America - roughly half a million maps and atlases - which I've been told is second only to the Library of Congress among American map libraries.<br>
<br>I also promised my colleague Angie Cope that I would send out a reminder about fellowship opportunities: For US-based or international scholars with an interest in cartography or historical geography, there is funding available for short-term research trips. The next deadline for applications is coming up soon at the end of October: <a href="http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/AGSL/fellowships.cfm" target="_blank">http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/AGSL/fellowships.cfm</a><br>
