Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Pubhc Library has taken the lead in commemorating the Civil War with the exhibition TORN IN TWO, 150thAiiiiwer^faiyof the Civil War, displayed in the historic McKim Building in Copley Square. Torn in Two is a groundbreaking exhibition and serves as the cornerstone ofthe Boston Public Library's cily-^vide commitment to Civil War programming, exhibitions, and educational outreach thisyear. While Torn in Two focuses on the conflict from 1861-1865, it also explores the causes ofthe war and the process by-which the war is remembered through the lens offifty hrstorrc maps and scores ofrare materials from the Irbrary's specral collections. Numbering over 1.2 million items, these treasured manuscripts, artworks, and historic objects include a major archive of anti-slavery documents, printed materials, and artifacts. Some ofthe highlights include Mathew Brady's iconic photographs, apainting and prints by acclaimed artist Winslow Homer, Currier & Ives political cartoons, and thousands ofmaps and other materials. Many ofthese items were acquired through an endowment established by the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment, one ofthe most honored regiments ofthe Crvil War. It^vas and still remains atremendous gift. There are manypeople to thank for making the Torn in Two exhibition possible. I am extremely grateful to the entire Boston Public Library staffand the many supporters who have helped to make this extensive Civil War-related programming possible. I especiallywant to thank Norman Leventhal for his vision and generosityin creating the Map Center atthe Boston Public Library. I also am very grateful to Alan and Sherry Leventhal who have supported this project throughout the process. We are extremely fortunate to have Liberty Mutual, whose support of the exhibition, national tour, catalog, andvirtual tour-will make it possible for people all over the world to become acquainted with the Boston Public Library's great treasures. Amy E. Ryan Proident, Bo^itonPublicLibraiy May 1,2011 Liberty Mutual takes great pleasure in sponsoring the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center's presentation of TOMN IN TWO, 150thAnniversary of the Civil War. We can think of no better way to mark the anniversary ofthis conflict, one of the most cataclysmic and defining events in U.S. history, than through education. We're sure the public will enjoy and appreciate the richness ofwhat this exhibit represents: the history of our great country — on display at the Boston Public Library an architectural and educational gem. As a global insurance company that has been proud to call Boston its home for almost 100 years, v^e are pleased to join Norman Leventhal, a man who has helped shape the city into what it is today, in making this exhibition possible.
