Qatar National Library Presents: Solving Mysteries with Maps from the Heritage Library
February 11, 2019 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Qatar National Library Historical Maps Librarian, Christopher Alario, will demonstrate the kinds of research projects made possible by the rich collections at the Heritage Library of the QNL, with particular attention to the maps of Arabia and the Persian Gulf. He will highlight mysteries presented in the documents – such as why Qatar vanished from maps for 230 years between 1596 and the 1820s – and offer clues to their solutions.
A light lunch will be served after the presentation.
