DESCRIPTION:A library friend mapping out lifelong learning for all - Wes B
 rown \n\n	Wes Brown\, a long-time friend of the Denver Public Library and 
 Friends Foundation\, had a long and successful business career. He was a p
 artner for several leading regional investment banking firms based in Denv
 er and continues to serve on corporate boards. Throughout his adult life\,
  he maintained a passion for maps and the history of exploration.  His in
 terest began using maps as a mountaineer in High School. But by college\, 
 he began studying and collecting old maps and continues to this day. His a
 ctive research has led to many publications\, frequent public presentation
 s\, and serving on the boards of several national and international map or
 ganizations including as an advisor to the Map and Geography Division of t
 he Library of Congress. \nWes has served on both the Library Commission an
 d the Friends Foundation Board and has donated to the library since 1989. 
 The relationship began through Wes’ use of the map collection for resear
 ch. The Denver Public Library has a very strong\, nationally recognized\, 
 research quality map collection specializing in maps of Colorado and the W
 est. This overlaps nicely with Wes’ collection. He has given maps on occ
 asion to the library for years\, but at the end of his life plans to give 
 the remainder of his map collection to the library\, if not duplicates. \n
 The DPL’s map collection is actively used by students of cartography (th
 e study and practice of making and using maps) and researchers in history\
 , exploration\, and genealogy.  In 2022\, he finalized arrangements and b
 egan funding a special endowment through current giving to be topped off w
 ith an estate gift. Earnings from the endowment will provide permanent fun
 ding for staff\, acquisition\, and/or conservation of the map collection. 
 This endowment will ensure that the DPL’s important map collection will 
 only grow in significance in the future. \nLearn more about the map collec
 tion at DPL.
