Have you ever wondered what your street looked like a hundred years ago and who lived there?  Belle Lipton, a geo-spatial and cartographic information librarian at the BPL’s Norman Leventhal Map and Education Center, will be at the South End library on Tuesday, March 10 at 6:00 PM and show you how to use the Atlascope. It is a new tool that makes it easy to compare buildings and owners, and zoom into the past right from where you’re standing.

If you want to focus on any particular areas in the South End with the Atlascope, please contact Belle Lipton at blipton@leventhalmap.org, or by phone at 617 859-2283.

To participate, you have to register by calling 617 859-2387 or email Anne Smart at asmart@bpl.org.
