Maps

Welcome to the Maps guide! University Libraries provides support to Ohio State students and faculty interested in learning and using maps for research and instructional projects.  This guide has several map categories (see left menu) and below you can find tools that cover multiple map types. You will see both the print and electronic collections.

The OSU Libraries has two major print collections for maps:

• Gardner Family Map Room - Thompson Library
• Geology Library - Orton Hall

Maps can be found in multiple other locations. Use the OSU Library Catalog's Advanced Search and limit your search to Material Type Map in order to just get map items.  You can then see the location where the item is kept.

The Online Guide to U.S. Map Collections is a directory of map collections, big and small, across the United States.

This initiative is a project of the Map and Geospatial Information Round Table (MAGIRT) of the American Library Association.
