The Asian Map Collection is an ongoing cooperative project of archives,
libaries and museums in Florida to digitize and provide online access to maps of contemporary and historic Asia,
dating from 1600 through the present. The majority of maps in this collection document the region's religions.
While many of these maps were originally published as maps independent of any other publication, some were published
with atlases, books, government documents, shipping and railroad schedules, land promotions, etc. Maps in this collection
include island, municipal, county and parish maps as well as maps depicting the region more broadly.
These maps represent only a small part of the wealth of historical and archival treasures held by the contributing
archives, libraries, and museums. Users should note the source of the maps they use and should contact the holding
libraries or archives directly for more information.
The Collection is uneven in representation of specific areas as contributions to the Collection reflect the interests
of the contributing institutions. Maps in the Asian Map Collection overlap with the maps of the Middle
East Map Collection and the European Map Collection. Effort is on-going to broaden representation of other specific locations. |
