The original World War I map collection was constituted from various sources at a time when adequate records on provenance were not preserved by the then Public Archives. The present organization in sub-series was devised to accommodate maps found in other fonds and collections, therefore, the list below will include maps that may not be ordered from the present record. Researchers should consult any alternate MIKAN record number that appears below. Maps marked by the letters WWI do belong to the original collection and may be ordered here. Please note though that almost all the maps are available on microfiche and may be consulted on the premises directly from self-serve cabinets.
