SITES & NOAA Announce Free Commemorative Poster Set

In 1807, President Thomas Jefferson established the Coast Survey, charging
it to provide a "complete and accurate chart of every part of the
coasts" of the United States. As part of the Survey's 200th
anniversary, SITES and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
are pleased to offer a special poster exhibit: From Sea to Shining Sea: 200
Years of Charting America's Coasts.

This 20-poster set explores the Survey's history, accomplishments, and
scientific contributions. Richly illustrated with photos, charts, and
artwork held in the Survey's archives, these colorful posters will provide
a foundation for programs and exhibits about your organization's resources
and associations with boating, shipping, and maritime history.

If your organization is interested in receiving a set of these posters,
free of charge, please visit our website
www.sites.si.edu/host/fromseatoshiningsea.htm, or send an e-mail to
[log in to unmask] The deadline for applications is January 31,
2007.
