Over the summer of 2021, I worked as the Special Collections and Archives Intern at the Duane G. Meyer Library, at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. As a part of that internship, I designed two standing exhibits. The gallery below is of the second exhibit, featuring maps of Springfield, Missouri, and the surrounding areas. The maps featured stretch from the Civil War to the mid-1900s, and feature different foci, such as topological features, population centers, and jurisdiction borders. The exhibit was composed of a wall with nine map facsimiles. Each of these facsimiles were printed, dry-mounted, and presented just for this exhibit.
