Hello Tom - 

I am beyond delighted that you reached out to me. All things related to maps and mapping are of great interest to me - and it looks like you as well! I was not aware of the California Map Society- and your class Williams sounds wonderful. 

I recently returned to California after completing a three year MFA program at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Through a fellowship, I was able to create and teach Writer as Cartographer as a ten-week course at the university. I'm trying out a shorter version of the class through Book Passage and waiting to see how enrollment goes. 

Thank you for sharing your creative site Pixeum and also the photos from the Huntington exhibit (sorry to have missed that). I still need to visit the David Rumsey collection at Stanford. It sounds like there are quite a few resources in the Bay Area - which is exciting to learn.  

Sorry that the class conflicts with your schedule, but perhaps we can have a conversation in the new year? 

My best,

Melissa Cistaro

Hi, Melissa -

I saw the class you are teaching on the writer as cartographer and I love it!!! I wish I could take it but will be out of town for the first two classes.

I thought I would reach out and be connected with you in case I can be supportive of what you are doing.

I’m a vp with the California map society. I’m also the founder of Pixeum, a website that helps people tell stories with art (and maps). I also teach a class at Williams college in January about old maps and new maps.

Not sure if you’re aware of the exhibit that was at the Huntington library almost three years ago about maps in works of fiction. You can see the photos I took of it here. 

Best regards,

Tom Paper

North Macedonia's history is a complex tapestry woven from ancient kingdoms, empires, and modern political struggles. The region has been inhabited for millennia, with traces of ancient civilizations.

• Ancient Roots:
  • The area was part of ancient Paeonia and later incorporated into the kingdom of Macedon under Philip II and Alexander the Great.
  • Roman and Byzantine rule followed, leaving lasting cultural and architectural imprints.
• Medieval and Ottoman Era:
  • Slavic tribes settled in the region, and it became a battleground between the Byzantine and Bulgarian empires.
  • The Ottoman Empire dominated the area for centuries, shaping its demographics and culture.
• 20th Century and Independence:
  • The Balkan Wars and World War I led to the region's division, with what is now North Macedonia becoming part of Serbia, and later Yugoslavia.
  • After World War II, it became a republic within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
  • In 1991, North Macedonia declared its independence.
  • The following years were then marked by a naming dispute with Greece, that was resolved in 2018 with the prespa agreement, changing the countries name to North Macedonia.
  • In 2020 North Macedonia became a member of NATO.

North Macedonia's journey to independence and its ongoing efforts to integrate with European institutions reflect its dynamic and evolving identity.
