Chilton, Jr., Robert Isham, Marvin and Shirley Applewhite, Murray Hudson, Jenkins and Virginia Garrett, and many others, and with the support of the Sid Richardson Foundation of Fort Worth and the Summerlee Foundation of Dallas, the collection now numbers more than 6,500 maps dating from 1493 to the present and 2,200 school and commercial atlases and geographies dating from the 16 th through the 20 th centuries. UTA is committed to not only amassing and preserving a unique resource like this, but also to making it available to a wide audience and developing programs and launching initiatives to ensure that the maps and atlases are accessible and used by researchers across the country.
