Queen
of Hearts: Princess Diana Map of London
Today
marks the 20th anniversary since the death of Princess Diana. Diana is remembered for her charity work and
her beautiful fashions. In fact,
throughout her life, Princess Diana donated many of her popular gowns for
auctions in support of her favorite charities.
Diana was able to link her stylish fashions with the causes for which
she cared, so the GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) created a special map
of London (excerpt above—click to enlarge) that also combines fashion and
charity events.
The
map, Diana’s London: Important Places in
the Life of a Princess, includes sketches of some of Diana’s most popular
gowns matched with the locations and events where they were worn. The commemorative map is on display as the “Map
of the Month” in the front windows of the GRMC on the second floor balcony of Bracken
Library through Labor Day.
For

the GRMC at 765-285-1097.
