The Newberry Library holds an estimated 500,000 maps issued separately and in atlases and books. This is a partial catalog of Newberry maps, atlases and literature on specialized topics in the history of cartography, and includes over 70,000 records.

This map catalog is the most complete record of the Newberry's cartographic collections and related reference materials. The Newberry Library map catalog often duplicates, but is separate and distinct from, the Newberry's main online catalog, which includes hundreds of cartographic titles not included here.

Note that approximately 9,000 titles in this catalog are described as "Not at Newberry Library." These items form part of the private collection of Roger Baskes, pending gradual deposit in the Newberry Library. For more information see the Map and History of Cartography section of the Newberry Library's web site or contact the Newberry Library Reference Department (reference@newberry.org).
