Title based on the content of the collection.
The maps that compose this collection are currently in the process of being restored. The maps were previously mounted into frames using poor quality enclosures. This mounting caused damage to the items. Further, the paper-based frames caused the items to be very difficult to maneuver. To ensure that the maps were not damaged further, access was limited.
The antique maps collection contains mostly early maps of America, Europe and Asia. Many of these maps are hand coloured. Some of the later maps show cities, including London and Paris.
Cartographic material
Some of the maps are in good condition, others are in poor shape. See conservation note for more details.
No future accruals are expected.
Created 2021-07-09 (Note that the previous collection-level description was deleted on the same date.)
It is only possible to consult the maps that have already been conserved. See conservation note for more details.
Many of the maps are no longer under copyright and can be used freely. Some of the later maps are in copyright. Permission might be required to use these maps for purposes other than research or private study. Concordia University does not hold the rights for the materials in this collection.
An item-level listing is available for all materials that have already undergone restoration treatment. The listing of available maps is included as part of this description.
