@ascentale @bikenite A1. Davis, CA, USA (still, dang it).

I'm moving to Europe and have to get rid of most of my possessions. It's been painful and slow. But one highlight is that I was able to donate my beloved cycling map/book collection to LA Public Library's famous Map Room. And they encourage others to add to their non-car maps!

I walked in to find the box of maps sitting on my desk this morning. Thank you again for the very kind and generous donation. I'm particularly fond of Bicycling Through the Mother Lode. It, along with the others are some real gems and I'm excited to share them with patrons. Our most recent map of Trinidad and Tobago is from 1983, so the updated map is greatly appreciated. 

It's interesting to me that we haven't seen these kinds of bicycle maps more often. Our collection is very heavy on road maps, and street guides, so your gift really fills some gaps. 

Best,

Very weird to put together this month's Memory Rising newsletter, which usually features many upcoming grant deadlines, but is now a ghost town due to the damage inflicted on NEH/IMLS/NHPRC. Many thanks to my friend and colleague @j_feral who assists me with writing the newsletter who put together an advocacy section where we usually run the grant deadlines.

Une carte postale vers 1900 pour ce #JeudiManuscrit, avec le message écrit au recto comme cela se faisait au début de ce mode de correspondance.

Was at the library today doing some film digitizing and came across this magazine in their archives - "The New Negro Traveler and Conventioneer" from *1973*.
Here's the front cover, back, and a page of ads.
