The Perry-Castañeda Library (PCL) Map Collection, consisting of the physical collection and an online collection of scanned maps, provides comprehensive cartographic resources to serve constituents both within and beyond the university’s walls.
The PCL Map Room (PCL 1.306) houses the physical collection, comprising more than 350,000 items representing all areas of the world. Most of the maps in the collection date from 1900 to the present and the collection is continually updated with new and gifted materials. Visit the PCL Map Room whenever the Perry-Castañeda Library is open. Most items are available for check-out in the Map Room when staffed or at the PCL Research Help & Check Out desk. See the Library Hours page for current details.
Since 1995, the PCLMC has digitized 70,000 maps from the print collection and has also forged partnerships with local and national archives to create a more comprehensive online map collection. The online PCL Map Collection highlights items with connections to current events or of particular historical relevance.
