Abstract
Abstract The progression from print directories to an online database is a natural and clear direction for map collection discovery. Moving this information to a virtual environment that anybody can access and update has many benefits. However, the path to develop this online resource has been fraught with challenges that had to be overcome to bring this vision to reality and to create a sustainable and comprehensive guide that is relevant for many years to come. This article looks at the history of print directories for locating map collections and outlines the development and implementation of the Online Guide to U.S. Map Collections, as well as the ongoing work to expand the Online Guide and its potential to impact future initiatives.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
