Summary	The collection consists of 51 maps of Guinea -- primarily in French -- concerning administrative and tribal boundaries, city plans, locations of wildlife preserves and natural resources, transportation lines, and other related subjects. 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 materials date between 1880 and 1969. The maps in this collection came to the Library through a variety of means, including government transfer, purchase, donation, and government agency deposits.
