This page describes some of the MAP Library's collections of printed and scanned maps. Most of our historic maps are in the UO Libraries' Catalog. Maps that are part of large sets are most likely described by one of the links below. Some of these lists refer to maps that may not be held at the UO Libraries. GIS Data and interactive maps are found elsewhere.
For help finding maps, check out the Finding Maps Research Guide. We also have a page describing online resources for maps and geographers.There are numerous options for copying maps.
