Belgian blog about maps

We are adding a new blog to the links to the right in our pages: Maps and More.

Author is Joost Depuydt, curator of Maps, drawing and prints at the FelixArchief, the new name for Antwerp's City Archive.

The municipal archive at Antwerp used to be located in Venusstraat, but its holdings got so crammed, that the entire service has moved to a port warehouse north of the city center, the so-called Sint-Felixpakhuis at Oudeleeuwenrui 29, 2000 Antwerp.

Summer is precious (reading) time

Traffic in these pages may become a bit slow in the next few weeks. Not because this curator can be spotted on a beach somewhere, but because these sunny months are a good time to catch up on some reading, done to better serve these pages. Perhaps for some this could be an ideal time to visit our library in person. We'll be back with feature articles, but intermittently, at a slower pace. Happy summer.
