New York Map Society Meeting Today

Sorry for passing this along so late in the game, but I have been playing “catch-up” with antique map news.

Please join us this Saturday, March 10th at 2:30 pm for our next meeting at the New York Public Library.

“United States of America v. Edward Forbes Smiley III.”

Our featured speaker is New York Map Society member and staff write for the Hartford Courant, Ms. Kim Martineau.

Ms. Martineau began her reports on the Smiley case immediately after his x-acto knife was discovered on the floor at the Yale University Library. Since then, she ha covered the continuing investigation, and was present when Smiley was sentenced. At this month’s meeting, she’ll offer members and guests an overview of the complete case.

NOTE: This month’s meeting will be in the lower-level Auditorium in the Library’s South Court Celeste Bartos Education Center. Stairway and elevator are just inside the door to the Education Center.
