On June 14, 2012, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania hosted an event titled "Maps of Early America" with guest lecturer Joseph Garver of Harvard University. Garver, the librarian for Research Services of the Harvard Map Collection, discussed treasures from HSP's collection, including the first map of Philadelphia, the Walking Purchase, and John Wallis's early map of the United States. A document display and reception in the Reading and Reference Rooms followed the lecture.
