VALDOSTA — A collection of rare maps from the 18^th and 19^th centuries is now on display in Valdosta State University’s Odum Library.

The Thomas F. and Janice C. F. Armstrong Antique Map Collection contains French, Italian, English, German, and American maps that depict the growth of the southern states of America and 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 specifically. Map dates range from 1760 to 1870. 

A subset of the collection is on loan to Valdosta State University Archives and Special Collections from 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 College and State University for the next several months. 

“Through these maps, you get to see a progression of the way 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 and the United States has changed over time,” said Deborah Davis, director of 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Archives and Special Collections. “You can tell a lot about changes in history from looking at old maps, and that’s important. It’s important to know where we came from and to study how people looked at the world back then.

“And these maps are not just utility. They’re also beautiful, aesthetic works of art. We’re very grateful to 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 College and State University for loaning them to us.”

The rare maps collection is located in Odum Library’s rotating gallery on the first floor.
