  Zoom Backgrounds

  Social media post on the Facebook page of the Norman B. Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library. The post highlights eight different historical maps from the collection, noting that those interested can download these maps and use them as backgrounds on a video conferencing platform like Zoom. Due to social distancing, video conferencing apps like Zoom have become increasingly popular, and cultural institutions have sought to utilize and promote their collections in ways that are compatible with these platforms. https://web.archive.org/web/20200622122709/https://www.facebook.com/bplmaps/photos/a.10150599262740304/10163440288820304/?type=3&theater=

  My family chatting via Zoom. We were all goofing around with the backgrounds and having a good time.
