Dear Friends & Colleagues
The Map Department of Cambridge University Library is pleased to
announce an extension of its opening hours. We will now be open on
Saturday mornings in addition to our normal opening hours. The official
notice follows.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Library - the
collections of the Map Department include maps, atlases, books about
cartography and gazetteers, etc. We are a Copyright Library, so the
holdings are strong on British material. However, the scope of the
collection is world wide and includes topographic and thematic maps. We
have manuscript maps (mostly of local areas) as well as an extensive
collection of antiquarian maps and atlases. More details can be obtained
from the (very simple) Map Department pages on the Library’s Web Site
http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/Departments/
Access to the collections is available to those of you who are not
members of the University, though sometimes a charge is levied. For more
information see the Library’s web site http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/ or
contact Admissions on 01223-333084.
Cambridge University Library Map Department - Extended Opening Hours.
In addition to its normal opening hours (Monday-Thursday 09.30-12.45,
14.00-17.10; Friday 09.30-12.45, 14.00-16.50), the Map Department of the
University Library will be open to readers on Saturday mornings,
09.30-12.45, from 13 March 1999 onwards. This extension of opening
hours is dependent upon the availability of suitably experienced staff;
fetching may have to be restricted. Any unscheduled closure will be
advertised as early as possible within the Library and on the Library's
Web Site http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/
Readers travelling from outside Cambridge or paying an essential
Saturday visit to consult Map Department materials are advised to place
their orders in advance (telephone 01223-333041/2; email
[log in to unmask]). In the event of an unscheduled closure material
requested or reserved in advance will normally be made available in
another reading room.
