Finding facts Finding Facts When you need a particular piece of information, such as a fact about a person, event or date, statistics, location or places, law or regulation, historical or current; there are many places to look, both online and in paper resources. On the Internet: Simply looking “on the internet” will not be efficient; if you want to use the internet, here are some good places to begin. Guide to Internet Searching : This guide will be helpful unless you are a very experienced internet searcher. You'll find ways to refine your searches, making them specific enough to return a reasonable number of hits.

Here are some examples of types of reference books you may want to consult when you need a specific fact. Besides general atlases, which provide maps of countries and regions of the world as they are today, you can find many specialty atlases: historical atlases, atlases of geology, commercial atlases, political atlases.

Despite the millions of Web pages now available, you will still find relatively little information about early maps on the Web. Much of what is offered is superficial, random or unreliable. This site is therefore highly selective in the links it provides. That said, there is a fast-growing body of online literature - see Web articles and commentaries on specific topics in the History of Cartography , and specifically the section.

28. Gazzetteers Other gazetteers give basic information about the places they list. They areshelved next to the cartographic journals between the atlases and soil http://www.sunysb.edu/library/map/gazzetteers.html

Map Collection Finding Maps at Stony Brook TYPES OF MATERIAL: Gazetteers, General Reference, Geological, Hiking Maps Gazetteers A gazetteer is a geographical dictionary. There are a number of types of gazetteers. Some, such as those published by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names, give little information except for latitude and longitude coordinates for locating places on maps. Other gazetteers give basic information about the places they list. A good example of this type of gazetteer is The Ordnance Survey Gazetteer of Great Britain (Maps/Gazetteer DA640.O68 1989). Baedeker guidebooks are also shelved with the gazetteers. Gazetteers are cataloged, and most are shelved in a special location (Map Collection, Gazetteer in STARS). They are shelved next to the cartographic journals between the atlases and soil surveys (see map of the map collection ). To differentiate them from other Map reference books, they have a yellow dot on the spine. Some heavily used gazetteers, including several general gazetteers and gazetteers of New York and Long Island, are shelved behind the Map Reference desk. Geographic names in the US are also listed on the GNIS CD ROM (see Digital Maps General Reference Maps This is a catch-all term for various small-scale maps, such as maps covering a continent, region, or country on a single sheet. General reference maps also include thematic maps (maps about a subject, which show such things as population and crop distribution). Maps published by the CIA and National Geographic maps are typical examples of this genre.

OAS_AD('Top'); How can maps help? Maps are made for many reasons, and as a result, vary in content. Some maps made for general purposes may show roads, towns and cities, rivers and lakes, parks, and State and local boundaries. New and old maps often reveal changing place names, and they may also show changes in the boundaries of nations and their subdivisions. They rarely name individual landowners or residents. In the United States, birth, death, property, and some other kinds of records are normally kept by county governments. If you can name the place where a kin lived, new or old maps of that place may also show the county seat where useful data about your kin may be obtained. Searches for data about an ancestor are often complicated by changes in the names and boundaries of places. GNIS The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Nation's official data base for place names. GNIS is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey and can often provide information on name changes. This data base contains two million entries. They include the names of places that no longer exist as well as other or secondary names for existing places. This automated system also contains the names of every type of feature except roads and highways. It is especially useful for genealogical research because it contains entries for very small and scattered communities as well as churches and cemeteries, including entries for those that no longer exist.

Suggestion Box Map Links: Map Library Media Home QEII Home Map Library Collection Development Policy The purpose of the general collection development policy of the Map Library is to provide a well-rounded collection of world-wide coverage comprised of general and thematic, small and large scale maps; national, provincial or state, regional, and thematic atlases; and related reference materials. In addition, as in the case of any modern University, it is essential for there to be special areas of emphasis because of the particular instructional and research needs of the University Community. The emphasis of this collection is on maps of Newfoundland, Canada, and the oceans around Newfoundland. The intensive collection of maps of Newfoundland should be carried out in cooperation with the Centre for Newfoundland Studies which currently houses the pre-1900 maps, as well as rare atlases. Because of the long-standing and still growing interest within the University in marine biology, oceanography, ocean engineering and other ocean related specialities, hydrographic, bathymetric, climatic, geologic, biogeographic and other marine related maps and charts are an important thematic area of concentration. In addition to the geographic areas of emphasis mentioned previously, attention must be paid to collecting cartographic materials relating to the rest of North America, especially New England, and Western Europe, especially Great Britain and the coastal areas of the Continent because of the interests of departments such as Geography, History, Geology, Engineering, and Biology.
