Lecture delivered by Hugh Taylor, Archives Course Director and Canadian archival scholar about the nature of maps in terms of communication, value, purposes from their beginnings to the present.

Also, map language and meaning are delved into and map construction is referred to, with allusion to use of maps for propaganda purposes.
