For local historians, students, and family researchers, Library Maps helps you plan searches for maps held in library collections. Build catalog search terms from a place name, date, or feature; interpret map descriptions and scale notes; and compare pasted catalog records to spot changes in boundaries, roads, or land use. Leave with a search plan, comparison notes, and questions to take to a librarian.
