Zoom Lecture: Garrett Dash Nelson of Boston Public Library’s Leventhal Map Center explores just how Boston, New England and the Shirley-Eustis House were situated in the British Empire’s Northern Atlantic ambitions. Garrett will introdoce participants to some of the most important maps and collections of maps of the era to explore how Governor William Shirley and others tried to measure and shape those ambitions. Paying special attention to the historical geography of the Shirley-Eustis House, Garrett will situate the house itself in the stories of various spatial scales, from the town of Roxbury to the Atlantic seaboard.
