Preface The preparation of the second edition of the World Directory of Hap Collections was authorized by the Section of Geography and Hap Libraries of the Division of Special Libraries, \ /

y

IFLA, at its 1978 meeting in Strbske Pleso, Czechoslovakia.

A

Directory Working Group consisting of John A. Wolter (USA) Chairman, David Carrington (USA) Secretary, Hermann GÜnzel Honique Pelletier (France),

(FRG),

and Leena Hiekkavaara (Finland) was

appointed to plan and oversee the completion of this project.

In

addition, regional editors were appointed to assist with the compilation of mailing lists and collection of completed questionnaires.

collections in all c o u n t r i e s

The goal was to c o n t a c t including national

important

libraries

and

XIV

archives, principal geographical, cartographical and historical society and institute collections, the collections of military geographical institutes or departments, and all other map collections, archives, or libraries of special significance. Beginning with those collections included in the first edition, regional editors supplied addresses of additional institutions with known map collections or possible collections.

However, regional edi-

tors representing countries that had already published national directories of map collections (United States, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, France, Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom) were more selective, limiting their lists to the largest and most iirportant map collections in their countries.

Finally,

these lists were supplemented by information from secondary sources such as those listed in the accompanying bibliography. In all some 2,300 questionnaires were mailed, including second mailings to over 100 institutions which were listed in the first edition but did not respond to the first mailing. The second stage of this project, which consisted of editing and collating the returned questionnaires, was conpleted by Ronald E. Grim and William R. Hawken, Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress under the direction of John A. Wolter.

Editing consisted of two phases: the selection of col-

lections to be included and the translation and review of the individual entries for consistency.

As noted previously, the

initial mailing was large and based on flexible criteria, there-

XV fore, some overall selection of collections was required to provide the necessary balance.

The original intent was to include as

many completed returns as possible; however, small collections of less than 1,000 items were excluded unless the entry recorded the only map collection from a country, a collection within a national library, archives, or mapping agency, or a collection that included significant historical materials.

When returns were re-

ceived from more than one collection or office within the same institution, the entries were usually combined, with the larger collection comprising the main entry and the secondary collection mentioned under numerical heading 8 (special collections).

Second

mailings to those collections that appeared in the first edition but did not respond to the initial request, were made in 1982 and, for a selected few, in 1983.

Nevertheless there were still a

number that did not reply. Therefore, entries for those collections have been repeated directly from the first edition, except for those from countries with national directories. In the context of these general criteria, more specific guidelines were developed for several individual

countries.

Examples from Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Hungary and Czechoslovakia will illustrate this selection process. For Australia, fifty-three completed returns were received.

Eight of these were omitted because the collections were

small (under 1,000) or no numbers were reported.

In addition,

XVI

seven responses were combined with others, reducing the total to thirty-eight entries.

Eight of the resultant entries are for

institutions representing twenty-five separately maintained collections.

Five of them are universities with two collections, one

in the geography department and a smaller one in the geology department or central library.

The others are the National

Library

with three collections; the New South Wales State Library with three collections; and the National

Archives with its central

office and eight regional branches.

Four institutions included in

the first edition did not respond.

Their entries have not been

repeated. For New Zealand, six of the twenty returned questionnaires were omitted because they reported less than

1,000 m a p s .

None of them were associated with a national institution nor were they mentioned as a significant collection in Brian article, "Hap Production and Map Collection in New

Marshall's Zealand,"

Special Libraries Association Geography and Map Division Bulletin, no. 110 (1977), pp. 25-29.

In addition, the forms for the A u c k -

land University Geography and Geology Departments were combined. Consequently, there are thirteen entries for New Zealand, senting fourteen separate collections. than

One of

repre-

them reported less

1,000 items, but since it is associated with a national

agency and specializes in maps of Antarctica it was included.

XVII In Italy there are many libraries and archives that specialize in historical publications and manuscripts.

These

collections often include a small number of historical maps, or globes, but they are usually not maintained as separate collections.

It was decided, therefore, to include entries for those

major research institutions that returned relatively complete questionnares indicating something of the nature of their cartographic holdings, even if the numbers were small.

Also included

were entries from fourteen state archives (Archivio di Stato) that reported cartographic holdings in excess of 1,000 items.

However,

five state archives (Agrigento, Chieti, Iserna, Riete, Vercelli) that completed forms, but whose collections numbered under were omitted.

In addition,

1,000

thirteen state archives (L'Aquila,

Arezzo, Belluno, Cagliari, Calabria, Catania, Messina, Palermo, Pistoia, Taranto, Teramo, Terni, Trieste) declined to answer the questionnaire.

They considered their cartographic holdings insig-

nificant or inappropriate for inclusion in this directory because the maps were not maintained as a separate collection, but rather filed among the records in which they originated, which is according to archival principles.

These institutions have also been

omitted, although it appears that their cartographic holdings include a fair number of 19th and 20th century cadastral maps for the respective provinces.

Researchers interested in these and

other state archives as well as other Italian research libraries

In terms of translation, all information has been translated into English except institutional names and addresses, names of societies, institutes or government agencies mentioned in the text, and titles of articles, periodicals, and books.

English

translations of the latter two items have been provided in parentheses if the meaning is not readily apparent.

The names of the

respective countries and other geographic place names have been translated into English, although selected foreign words which are not easily translated such as "fonds," have not. Editorial changes were made primarily as an effort to make the text more understandable to an international

audience. Most abbreviations have been

spelled out (except months and days) and punctuation and capitali-

XX zation have generally been standardized. Occasionally lists of specialized collections (item 8) and institutional

publications

(item 16) have been abridged. The entries are arranged alphabetically by the conventional English nane of countries, and thereunder alphabetically by name of city or metropolitan area except in the case of Australia, Canada, Federal Republic of Germany, United Kingdom, and United States, where entries are arranged by state or province and thereunder, by city or metropolitan area. If there is more than one collection per city, the entries are arranged alphabetically by name of parent institution. tive order.

The entries are numbered in consecu-

Index references refer to this entry number rather

than page numbers. The data for each collection is reported under 16 numerical headings, several of which have sub-headings, corresponding to

the

individual

questions

on the original

questionnaire.

Although the information is given in English, sample questionnaires identifying the numerical headings are provided in the four official

IFLA languages

(i.e., English, French, German, and

Russian) and Spanish following this Introduction.

In entries

where headings or sub-headings are omitted, the respondent either answered negatively or not at all. (Because of an oversight in typesetting, the numbers for these negative responses were not deleted from the first third of the entries.

The publisher

apologizes for this inconsistency, but feels that it does not

XXI

affect the overall usefulness of the Directory.) The following clarifications will help users interpret the data presented for each collection.

The name of the parent

institution, collection, and address (except country name) are given in the vernacular. Insofar as possible, the name of the institution and collection have also been translated into English for those languages other than the official IFLA languages. 1.

The

person

in

charge

usually

refers

to

the

official

responsible for the map collection, but for institutions where the map collection is not maintained separately, the name listed may refer to the head of the parent institution. 2.

Telephone numbers are given as entered on the questionnaire. For U.S. entries, the first three digits of the telephone number comprise the area code, which is used for long distance calls.

Many European countries also use an "area

code," which respondents did not always include.

An area

code has been supplied only where reliable information could be obtained from other sources.

If an area code is not

supplied, the reader should check before placing a long distance call. 3.

Cable addresses and telex nimbers are given as entered on the questionnaire.

XXII

The date of establishment is that which was given on the return.

It usually applies to the founding of the map col-

lection, but in some cases, it applies to the founding of the parent institution.

The number and categorization of staff is entered as given on the questionnaire.

No precise definitions were provided for

guidance.

Totals, in most cases, have been rounded off.

Most figures

represent the size of the collection when the questionnaire was completed (i.e. the end of 1980 through calendar year 1982).

No attempt has been made to adjust these figures to

a common date as was done in the first edition.

For those

collections that were derived solely from the first edition, no attempt has been made to update the totals.

Users of the

Directory who desire more up-to-date holdings statistics can make their estimates from the annual accessions figures for most reported collections.

References to "circa" or

"approximately" have been deleted because it is assuned that all figures are approximations because a precise count of a large collection is virtually Impossible to obtain.

Annual

additions are also approximations because most accessions vary widely from year to year.

Some collections are limited

to maps and charts, while atlases, reference books, and periodicals are maintained in the general collections of the

XXIII

parent library. Occasionally an institution indicated it had holdings of a particular category, but provided no numbers. Terminology under this heading varies widely.

Many larg·

collections are comprehensive in terms of geographic ana subject coverage, so that individual specializations are not listed.

Regional specializations are usually listed in terms

of country, state or province, and major city.

Most entries

provide percentages for temporal coverage; however, others are less precise or used different time periods. Listed in this

category are "special collections" that are

maintained as an integral custodial or topical group; significant archival series; or prominent individual items (such as manuscript maps or older atlases and globes).

References to

smaller collections that are maintained in separate offices or departments within the parent institution are also mentioned here. A wide variety of cataloging and classification schemes are mentioned.

In most cases, abbreviations or

shortened

references to localized systems have been amplified so that they will be better understood outside the regional context. Only abbreviations of accepted international usage have been retained

such

E.

Merrett, Map Classification: A Comparison of Schemes With Special Reference to the Continent of Africa, Occasional Paper, no. 15t (Champaign: University of Illinois, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, 1982). Question 9c was Intended to refer to published map series that are usually controlled by graphic indexes; however, a number of archival institutions also interpreted this to mean an archival series of maps. Seating capacity usually refers to a separate map consultation roan, although seme institutions do not maintain a separate room and have instead listed the seating capacity for the reading room of the parent library.

In this case, the

number of consultants served may refer to the total for the entire institution

rather than only map

inquiries.

A

twenty-four hour clock is used to indicate the hours of service.

If originals, photocopy, or microform are listed, materials are available through interlibrary loan in that format.

If

nothing is listed, no materials are available through interlibrary loan. 12.

Listed here are copying restrictions such as size of document, state of preservation, copyright, or security classification .

13.

Reproduction services indicated are most often available in the facilities of the parent institution, and only occasionally within the cartographic collection. In some cases, only outside commercial reproduction services are available.

In

the translation of the questionnaire into French and Spanish there was some confusion in the use of the terms "photocopy" and "rapid copy."

The use of the term photocopy in the

questionnaire was meant to include photostatic and black and white and color photographs, while rapid copy was used to refer

to

electrostatic

processes

such

as

"Xerox."

Although this distinction was maintained in editing, there are probably several respondents who marked photocopy but actually meant the electrostatic processes. 14.

A few collections have listed the number of map cases but most have only Indicated the various types of storage equipment they utilize.

15.

Conservation procedures listed under this heading may be performed in the map collection, in the parent library, or in external or comercial shops and laboratories.

16.

Bibliographical references are listed for those publications which provide additional information about the services and holdings of the map collection.

For the larger collections

such as the Library of Congress t U.S. National Archives, Public Archives of Canada, or British Library, selected references are provided, especially if there is one key publication which lists the pertinent finding aids.

The format of

bibliographical references on the returned questionnaires varied widely.

They have been edited to include author,

title, and place and date of publication.

Periodical litera-

ture includes name of periodical, volume number, date, and page number. Responses were received from over 800 collections as a result of both the first and second mailings.

Of these, 91 were

letters indicating that the institution had no collection or that the collection was not of sufficient size or importance to be included.

Another 109 returns were eliminated because the infor-

mation was incomplete, the collections were too small, or the retyrn was combined with that for a larger collection within the same institution.

On the other hand, t1 entries were repeated

from the first edition.

Consequently, there are 670 entries in

XXVII

the second edition which represent some 707 separately maintained collections. This is an increase of almost 210Í over the

285

entries in the first edition. This edition, therefore, has been greatly expanded, but coverage is still uneven. increased

The number of countries represented has

from 15 in the first edition to 65. There are also

increases in numbers of returns from most countries, particularly those from Africa, Latin America and Asia.

Because there are only

one or two collections reported for many of these countries,

how-

ever, there are probably other small but significant collections that have been missed.

Unfortunately, no current information was

received from the U.S.S.R.

Entries for the four collections in the

U.S.S.R. described in the first edition have, therefore, been repeated. Additionally, no information about map collections in the People's Republic of China was made available to the compilers, An increase of some significance is found in the number of returns from archivai institutions, at national, state and municipal levels.

However, many such institutions were reluctant

to answer the questionnaire because they felt that their archival arrangement or the interfiling of maps with textual documents was not compatible with a perceived library orientation of the d i r e c tory.

In fact, one institution sent a three page letter explain-

ing why they couldn't answer the questionnaire, but

provided

enough information so that a relatively complete questionnaire could be prepared.

XXVIII

Any project which relies on the cooperation of many individuals throughout the international map librarianship community, incurs many debts.

Indeed, thanks must be extended not

only to each of the Working Group members and regional editors, but also to all of

the individual respondents.

Without their

interest and cooperation, the Directory would not be as extensive nor as informative as we hope it will prove to be.

Users may note

that entries for a few large and significant collections from their own countries are missing, and conversely, that some smaller collections might very well have been omitted.

Like our first

edition predecessors, we also regret such sins of omission or commission regardless of whether they reflect our own inadequacies, the lack of interest on the behalf of possible respondents, a desire for anonymity, or other unknown

factors.

However,

this greatly expanded directory exemplifies by its wide geographical coverage the state of map curatorship on an international level at the beginning of the 1980s. I also wish to thank the Library of Congress administration for generously allowing me and my co-editors official time over the past five years to conduct the required correspondence and to compile and edit this second edition of the Directory.
