Maps donated to National History and Geography Museum

The National History and Geography is exhibiting a new collection of copies of maps of Española that date from 1580 to 1914. The maps were donated to the Museum of National History and Geography by former Dominican ambassador in Washington, Bernardo Vega. They complement the map collection of the museum. Vega collected the maps while he carried out research at the US Library of Congress. The copies are identical to the originals. Vila Benzo de Ferrer received the maps, in the name of the Museum.
