Summary | The collection consists of 66 maps of Sierra Leone at the whole country, region, and city level, covering a variety of subjects and uses. These maps make up a small part of the Geography and Map Division's uncataloged holdings of maps that were acquired before the advent of digital cataloging in the 1970s. The collection's strengths are in maps depicting administrative and tribal boundaries, locations of natural resources, transportation and telecommunication lines, and other related subjects. The materials date between 1764 and 1965. The maps in this collection came to the Library through a variety of means, including government transfer, purchase, donation, and government agency deposits. |
