The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the Treasure House lecture series will take place at noon on Tuesday, 15 June, 2004 in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby in the Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond. Using slides, Marianne McKee, map specialist at the Library of Virginia, will talk about the history of the 19th century map copperplates in the Library's collection and the two times the Library has printed them -- in 1999 and in 2004 -- as well as the actual process of printing the copperplates. The printing was done in collaboration with VCU's School of the Arts using centuries old techniques to pull contemporary prints of state maps from early plates created with a combination of etching and engraving There is free undergound parking for Library patrons.
