Mapping China Continued
The inaugural Mapping China meeting on June 21 was a fine start for our effort to identify interesting projects to develop that are related to China, geography, maps and, of course, people. We’ve decided to keep on rolling with this and invite you to Meeting II, when we will talk about specific projects to work on, including internet mapping and activities for young children. We’ll also be exploring the story of a recently discovered 18th century map— the Mo Yiting map—which is claimed to have been created in 1763, based on a map drawn in 1418. It is at the center of a somewhat heated discussion regarding the possibility that the Chinese discovered America.
Thursday, Aug. 24, 6PM Kida Co. Bldg. 127 NW 3rd Ave., Portland, OR Free; RSVP by August 22 to 503 973-5451
