A week ago I featured David Rumsey's nonpareil map collection and associated website.
The collection itself, over 200,000 maps, is located at the David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University.
Up top is a full-length 90-minute documentary film about him which premiered at the Torino Film Festival on November 30, 2023, and was released to the public in December 2024.
"For David Rumsey, maps constitute the fabric of memory. They carry images of boundless worlds and the people who live there — past, present, and even the future. In this film, David takes us on a journey through time and space as he recalls why he started collecting. Over decades the collection grew into the intricate, innovative, and intimate story of his life and all the lives that have touched him."
Watch it for free — the way we like it.
More?
Your wish is my demand.
