The AGS Map Collection (now AGS Library) is one of the finest cartographic assemblages in the U.S. and one of the most distinguished in existence, with maps dating back to the 1400s. In 2009, Barbara received the Distinguished Samuel Finley Breese Morse Medal for \u201cthe encouragement of geographical research\u201d for being instrumental in securing and preserving the AGS Map Collection.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Borowiecki received her doctoral degree in Geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was a prolific scholar and teacher, specializing in glacial geomorphology.  We, her colleagues, mourn the loss of an outstanding scholar and friend, and wish her spirit eternal peace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Emerita of Geography Barbara Zakrzewska Borowiecki died on March 18, 2016.
