The
North American 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 North America, dating from
1564 through the present. 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
are largely regional maps. But, the Collection also
includes national, state, municipal, county and parish
maps.
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 North American Map Collection include the
maps of the Florida Map Collection. and of the Caribbean
Basin Map Collection because the majority of contributing
institutions are based in Florida. Effort is on-going
to broaden representation of other specific locations. |
