Chet Van Duzer
Board Member, The Lazarus Project | Researcher in Residence, John Carter Brown Library, Providence, RI
Chet is one of the leading authorities on medieval and Renaissance maps, and has published extensively in the field, including his recent book Henricus Martellus’s World Map at Yale (c. 1491): Multispectral Imaging, Sources, and Influence, which is based on an NEH-funded Lazarus Project imaging campaign.
In addition to directing the Lazarus Project’s undertakings involving maps and globes, Chet is currently writing a book about cartographic cartouches. One of his particular research interests is determining the sources of the texts and images on maps as a way to gain insights into how maps were created.
