2 websites will tell you all you need to know: http://www.itsmarc.com/crs/map0001.htm http://library.buffalo.edu/maps/mapresources/map_cat_tools.php Cataloguing maps, especially older ones before Greenwich was agreed as the international zero meridian, is very different from cataloguing books and periodicals, old or new. I got my first stab at it last year and, after initial nervousness, was glad of the opportunity. Good luck and best wishes, Bill Lehm.
