In the circle around the edges is a calendar, with moon phases, saints\u2019 days and more information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The geographical library now contains more than 2 million items, including maps, photos, atlases, other books, globes and more. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/item\/2021668432\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leardo map<\/a> is the oldest item in the collection.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_142786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-142786\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-142786\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2025\/03\/map400x400_MG_1254-Enhanced-NR-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up photo shows a hand-drawn map of the world with Jerusalem at the center. \" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2025\/03\/map400x400_MG_1254-Enhanced-NR-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2025\/03\/map400x400_MG_1254-Enhanced-NR-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2025\/03\/map400x400_MG_1254-Enhanced-NR-2.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-142786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Leardo Mappamundi was created by cartographer Giovanni Leardo in Venice for an unknown patron, likely a church official. (51ÁÔÆæ Photo\/Elora Hennessey)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The original is kept in a dim room controlled for temperature and humidity, and Bidney has become more reluctant in recent years to bring it out for guests. Getting a state-of-the-art reproduction is one reason why 51ÁÔÆæ is bringing the <a href=\"https:\/\/lazarusprojectimaging.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lazarus Project<\/a> to the university in March. But it may also highlight details that have faded over the centuries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Lazarus Project applies multispectral imaging to fragile or damaged documents to bring out missing or faded details. By processing the photos taken under different frequencies of light, new details can emerge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWith the right object, it\u2019s like magic,\u201d said Chet Van Duzer, a board member of the Lazarus Project who specializes in maps. Since most rare manuscripts are too fragile to travel, the imaging experts come to the institution that holds them \u2013 and for most jobs, the equipment fits in a golf bag. It is carefully designed to emit less light than normal overhead lighting, to avoid damaging the documents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s fascinating to watch for the first 10 minutes,\u201d Van Duzer said. \u201cAfter that, it\u2019s like watching paint dry.\u201d The map will be scanned with at least a dozen frequencies of light, and probably more, ranging from infrared through visible light up to ultraviolet. But in the months after taking the original images, \u201cthe real magic is in processing,\u201d Van Duzer said. Different combinations of images at different strengths may reveal faded writing that used various pigments of ink.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The project is based at the University of Rochester, where director Greg Heyworth is an associate professor, and it travels to institutions that can pay for their rare documents to be digitized. The 51ÁÔÆæ Libraries are funding this project through the generosity of private donations made to the AGSL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Leardo map was the topic of a small book by an American Geographical Society official in 1912, not long after the society had acquired it (the archives don\u2019t show from where). \u201cIt\u2019s a great candidate for multispectral imaging,\u201d Van Duzer said, \u201cand it was time for a fresh look anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The original is on vellum, or treated animal skin, and Bidney hopes that when the library has the digital image for a better facsimile, it can be printed on a vellum-like material. \u201cThe printer would scream if you put vellum in it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Created some 573 years ago, the Leardo Mappamundi is the oldest of more than 2 million items in the collection of the American Geographical Society Library.
