Introduction
How to Find Charts and Read the Guides
What Nautical Charts are used for
The University of Oregon Libraries Map Collection houses three collections of NOAA nautical charts.
- Current: the most recent charts for the Western U.S. and a large selection of international charts.
- Superseded Series: prior editions of charts covering primarily Oregon, Washington, and California.
- Historic Charts: domestic charts of historic value, most printed prior to 1900. NOAA has created scanned versions of many superseded and historic charts.
Thank you to Fannie Powers of NOAA [http://www.noaa.gov/] and
Russell Guy of OmniMap [http://www.omnimap.com] for providing the lists on
which our Current Nautical Chart Collection index is based, and Jon McConnell who originally created this guide.
