Introduction
This presentation of 30 maps from the Steegh/Teunissen private collection (almost 7000 maps and 1000 atlases and travel guides) was one of the ten exhibitions during the Heritage Days in Leiden, with the theme ”Leiden on the Map”. Preparations are in hand to expand the presentation to 50 maps by the beginning of 2011. Please send me a message if you know of other original maps of relevance to Jewish history in the last centuries.
