| Ephemeral
Cities is an integrated collection
of maps, documents, museum objects, photographs, and ephemera that
breathe life into the static renderings of the historic fire insurance
maps created by the Sanborn National Insurance Diagram Bureau. Funded
in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services, this model
project focuses on three key Florida cities: Gainesville, the site
of the largest university; Tampa, the West coast hub of commerce
and finance; and Key West, an island rich with Bahamian and Cuban
influences. The time is 1884-1903. |
