Muy buena iniciativa! Adelante!
Go, Lena and Amelia! Excited to watch this.
I could not get the link https://loc.gov/rr/geogmap/pdf/GMOrientationHandout.pdf you posted for the handout to work.
Hi Mary, that link is for an old handout used for previous orientations. All of the resources discussed on Tuesday 6/11 are linked on our reading room website: https://www.loc.gov/research-centers/geography-and-map/about-this-research-center/
