To prepare for publication a definitive and consistent catalogue of approximately 13,000 pre-1900 printed maps, atlases and city plans of seven Midwestern states (Ill., Ind., Iowa, Mich., Minn., Ohio, and Wisconsin). The maps included in the project are an important but hitherto largely ignored part of the cultural heritage of the nation. Through this project these maps will be made more accessible to users in a wide variety of fields.
