Maps and The Map Center

Join Andrew Middleton of The Map Center in Pawtucket, RI for a fun and informative talk on how maps tell all sorts of stories. Learn how historical and contemporary maps are designed to convey information, but also how they have been designed to present particular world-views. Andrew will also tell the story of how he became the owner of the oldest map store in New England.

Andrew Middleton is a geographic information systems specialist, consultant, and published cartographer who has been steering the 72 year old Pawtucket staple back into the limelight with beautiful maps from around the world that challenge us to see the places we love in new ways.
