Abstract
The Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library (LMC/BPL) made historic maps from the American Revolution period (1750–1800) the main focus of its educational programming for students and teachers in 2015–2016 in connection with its exhibition We Are One: Mapping America's Road from Revolution to Independence. With related grant funding, LMC created a model for designing educational materials, teacher training, and a K-12 teacher fellowship program that it could replicate for different topic areas connected to its collections. Educational programming using historic maps for K-12 students and teachers is at the core of the Map Center's mission. The heart of this mission is not simply providing digital maps but helping teachers to engage students at various levels and get them to think critically and ask questions about maps as complex documents.
