The
Florida Map Collection is an ongoing cooperative
project of the State of Florida's public universities
to digitize and provide online access to maps of
contemporary and historic Florida, dating from 1564
through the present. The majority of maps in this
collection document historic Florida (1564-1926),
illustrating territories of the Spanish, French,
English, and United States in Florida, as well as,
coastal Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia
and other southeastern states. While many of these
maps were originally published as maps independent
of any other publication, some were published with
atlases, books, government documents, railroad schedules,
land promotions, etc.
Maps in this collection include municipal and county
maps as well as maps depicting the entire state.
Among the municipal maps in the Collection and the
historic and highly detailed Sanborn Fire Insurance
Company's pre-1923 maps of Florida; effort is ongoing
to complete this set. Maps in the Florida Map Collection
are also included within the North
American Map Collection and the Caribbean
Basin Map Collection.
Maps are taken from archives, special collections,
and libraries of the state's public universities.
These maps represent only a small part of the wealth
of historical and archival treasures held by the
universities' archives and libraries. Users should
note the source of materials they use on this site
and should contact the holding libraries or archives
directly for more information. |
