Under the auspices of the Program in the History of the Book in American
Culture, the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) will sponsor a hands-on
workshop for scholars on the use of graphic arts materials as primary
sources in historical research. Topics reflecting two of the strengths of
AAS's graphic arts collection have been selected as this year's focus.
Visiting scholars will lead sessions on using city views and maps to
reconstruct nineteenth-century communities and studying political prints to
understand the Jacksonian Era. One session will focus on publications that
exemplify the ways in which historians have creatively used images as
research documents.
