The Map & Aerial Photography
Collection (MAP), located on the first floor of the Knight Library
in the Documents Center,
supports research using a variety of geographic and cartographic materials
and formats.
Note that only 15-20% of MAP materials are cataloged in the online catalog. The majority of map materials are classified by the LC (Library of Congress) system, using Schedule G. Geographic atlases are classed from G1000.3 to 3122, and maps are classed from G3190 to 9999. We have a world map of map call numbers. There are some un-classed materials that are filed according to geographic place. The collections contain materials in a variety of formats including paper, digital, and microform.
We are currently working on placing 'shelving indicators' into catalog records to aid in finding materials. These indicators include:
For best results ask for assistance at the Document Center Desk. Many materials
are housed in restricted areas that require staff retrieval.
