Abstract

In the Century since Slipher's first observations, roughly three million galaxy redshifts have been measured. The resulting maps of large-scale structure have taught us much of central importance in cosmology, ranging from the matter content of the universe to the study of the primordial density fluctuations. This talk aims to review some of the key observational and theoretical milestones on this journey, and to speculate about what the future may bring.
