- History of Cartography
-
The first volume of the History of Cartography was
published in 1987 and the three books that constitute Volume Two
appeared over the following eleven years. In 1987 the worldwide web
did not exist, and since 1998 book publishing has gone through a
revolution in the production and dissemination of work. Although the
large format and high quality image reproduction of the printed
books are still well-suited to the requirements for the publishing
of maps, the online availability of material is a boon to scholars
and map enthusiasts.
On the web site the University of Chicago Press is pleased to present the first three volumes of the History of Cartography in PDF format. Navigate to the PDFs from the left column. Each chapter of each book is a single PDF. The search box on the left allows searching across the content of all the PDFs that make up the first six books. - http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/HOC/index.html
- Bibliographia Cartographica
- International Documentation of cartographical literature
- Since 2007 the map department of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin has made available online the Bibliographia Cartographica (BC), a database listing international scientific literature relating to cartography. The database was created in 1989 in consultation with the working group Bibliography of cartographical literature (Bibliographie des kartographischen Schrifttums) of the German Cartographic Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kartographie - DGfK). Currently, the BC online lists c. 32 000 articles, published in journals, multi-author works and serials, as well as 5 600 monographs relating to cartography. About 1 500 new titles are added every year. Around 162 international journals are regularly indexed. The BC also provides links to open access online publications.
- The last printed version of the BC, volume 34, was published in 2012. Scientific literature published later than 2006 has only been included in the online version, literature published before 1989 should be searched for in the printed editions of the BC.

- The Internet Archive
- As books become old and begin to fall apart, librarians depend on micro-form to preserve their content for the future. While microfilm is perfect for storing and protecting this material, it is a does not allow for much access. In following its mission to provide universal access to all human knowledge, the Internet Archive is teaming up with libraries all over the world to begin digitizing microfilm and microfiche. The books in this collection are from a variety of libraries including the University of Chicago Libraries, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Alberta, and the National Technical Information Service. This service provides an unique opportunity to search for cartography related books (in pdf format) that are nowadays hard to find.
