NEMO's 2008 Meeting

NEMO 22nd Annual Meeting, June 5-6, 2008: Landlocked but Far from At Sea

Thursday kicks off with an hour-long tour of Newsbank digital production facilities as the prelude to welcoming remarks & presentations. The rest of the day includes:

- Boston Public Library map cataloger Stephanie Lewis will provide an overview of pre-revolutionary maps of Boston & the way in which a formerly unidentified state of the Bonner Price first published in 1722 fits into previously identified editions.

- Ronald Grim, Curator of Maps at the Boston Public Library, will present an overview of the Leventhal Center’s new “Boston & Beyond” exhibit and introduce the virtual tour of these New England bird’s eye views.

- Joel W. Grossman, author of two articles in the recently published Encyclopedia of Archaeology, will speak on geospatial strategies for reconstructing mid-17th century Dutch New Amsterdam.

- TerraGo Technologies & PenBay Media reps will be on hand to present recent developments in information visualization. – Fletcher House (472 Main Street)

- Our featured after-dinner speaker is David Cobb, Curator of Maps & Head of the Harvard Map collection. David will address The Modern Map Library. Not too long ago, he edited a well-respected “cartobibliography” that serves as the checklist for maps at the Vermont Historical Society. The NEMO crew looks to David for things future as well as past: we trust he will touch on digital imaging efforts integral to Harvard’s Geospatial Library as well as maps prior to 1900.

Friday dawns with additional presentations, the traditional map swap & a poster session. NEMO’s annual business meeting will be held over brunch.

Friday afternoon’s activities will be determined by critical mass for Vintage Train Tour & Clambake ($75 per person) - interest is currently being polled at Newsbank as well as the local Chamber of Commerce to assure the minimum of 50 participants necessary for Green Mountain Railroad to run a pre-season premiere that coincides with NEMO shore leave at Chester Depot. <

Yes, I’m interested in the train excursion with meal on Friday______

I’m staying over – Saturday is a better day for this trip_______

I love trains, either Friday afternoon or Sat midday is good________>>

Friday’s fallback excursion is a late lunch/early supper at the Curtis All American BBQ nearby on Rte 103 South. “Curtis' famous ribs, chicken, and beef brisket are slow-cooked over hard wood, served with Curtis' signature barbeque sauce, and homemade sides. Beer and wine available.” http://jschumacher.typepad.com/joe/2007/12/curtis-all-amer.html

“Chester combined vintage Victorian architecture with just the right critical mass of lodging and dining. Near to Chester is the smaller Grafton which features Federal period architecture.” – follow this link for a bit more: http://www.berkshirefinearts.com/show_article.php?article_id=366&category=travel
