Mapping the Early American South
September 11-12, 2020
MESDA’s seminars provide a forum for collectors, curators, scholars, and conservators to explore topics related to a range of decorative arts media. This year, “Mapping and Migration” will offer a multicultural perspective on how the use of maps in the early South influenced patterns of migration and established settlements of British, French, Spanish, African, and Native American peoples.
From the earliest mapping of North America by European navigators to campaigns during the French & Indian War and the American Revolution to further exploration through westward expansion, join us as we delve into how different communities used maps as tools to establish unique visions of the American South.
