Map of the World

At the Library of Congress, my new favorite website, I mostly live in the past; exploring an expansive archive of audio, video, photos and other resources.

 

There is so much to learn and, usually, a random click will bring up something really fascinating--like this article about the impact and influence of Japanese art. The image attached to this post shows villages in the province of Musashi during the Edo period in the 1400s.


The Library also has a website specifically for teachers, which is where I found this fun interactive multimedia lesson on cartography.
