Background
I have been associated with the Clements Library since 1984. My undergraduate degree is in Classical Studies (Greek and Latin) and my Ph.D. is in Geography from the University of London. My own research interests focus on map production and commerce in 18th century France and England. I have served as an Associate Editor of Imago Mundi: The International Journal of the History of Cartography, and was the Co-Editor of The History of Cartography, Volume Four: Cartography in the European Enlightenment (The University of Chicago Press). I have served on the boards of several map libraries and map related organizations.
Responsibilities
As the Assistant Curator of Maps, I help maintain and expand our map collection. This includes researching and publishing information about maps in our collection, answering questions from readers and the public at large about our maps, and maintaining our bibliography collection on the history of cartography. My outreach activities include giving lectures, writing articles, consulting with university faculty about collection use, and helping students and visiting scholars who wish to learn more about using maps as primary sources.
