Abstract

Following World War II, the Geography and Map Division at the Library of Congress (LC G&M) launched a summer internship program aimed at map librarians and others. The unpaid experience gave participants the opportunity to work with LC G&M personnel and collections while offering sending organizations the incentive of receiving free duplicate maps. This presentation traces the history of the program, describes participation and projects, and provides examples of duplicate maps distributed via the program.
