Upcoming Events

In summer 2025, the GLO Archives is offering a series of webinar on teaching with maps. Participants will learn how to build lesson plans and integrate historical and GIS maps in the GLO collections into classroom learning. All K-12 Texas, U.S., and Geography teachers are welcome to attend. Those new to teaching or new to teaching with maps will especially benefit.

More information, including registration details, will be available in spring 2025.
