- Map
Collections: 1500-date
- "The focus of Map Collections is Americana and
Cartographic Treasures of the Library of Congress. These
images were created from maps and atlases and, in
general, are restricted to items that are not covered by
copyright protection. Map Collections is organized
according to seven major categories. Because a map will
be assigned to only one category, unless it is part of
more than one core collection, searching Map Collections
at this level will provide the most complete results
since the indexes for all categories are searched
simultaneously."
