Collections & research

But more than that, it is an archive of our world’s landscapes and environments as well as human cultures, myths, arts, and scientific developments. We are dedicated to digitizing our collection and providing it online. While digital copies allow for wide access, we also believe that there is nothing that compares to seeing an historic map in person. We welcome visitors to the Center to spend time with an old map. Come research, learn, reflect, be challenged, see something beautiful, or engage with a document much older than yourself. Additionally, the Branner Earth Sciences Library & Map Collections at Stanford houses maps from the 1920s to the present. Index. Historischer Atlas von Baden-Württemberg - LEO-BW.

Nach der Offline-Erfassung der Karten in verschiedenen Datenpools während der ersten fünf Jahre erfolgte im Herbst 1991 der Aufbau eines gemeinsamen Online-Katalogisierungssystems (IKAR) durch das Deutsche Bibliotheksinstitut (DBI) in Berlin. Im Jahr 2000 wurde die Altkartendatenbank in den Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbund (GBV) überführt, wo sie jetzt allen Interessenten für Recherchen im Internet zur Verfügung steht sowie weiteren Kartensammlungen die Teilnahme an der Katalogisierung ihrer Altkarten ermöglicht.

Map Collection Digital Maps

Resources range from 16th century globes to modern maps and geographic information systems (GIS) layers. A selection of our materials has been digitally imaged and is offered both as true picture images and georeferenced copies. This Virtual Collection includes those maps and atlases that are available through the Harvard Image Delivery Service. Those maps that have been georeferenced are available through the Harvard Geospatial Library. Therefore, many of the maps listed will have two records, one for the image that is true to the original and the other a georeferenced image. Only a small portion of the Map Collection has been cataloged and included in Hollis and an even smaller selection are included in this virtual collection as digital images.
