Store Cassell's Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland View images of the original document Description: This database contains the last five volumes of the six volume series titled, Cassell's Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland , being a complete topographical dictionary of the United Kingdom. These volumes contain information on places named Cheddington - Zoze Point. Gazetteers like this one are very useful sources for genealogists because they help us locate and learn about the places our ancestor's lived. Extended Description: Some family researchers believe it is necessary to find an old map to locate an old town. An old map will not necessarily show all towns in existence when the map was printed because small towns might have been omitted. A useful tool for locating towns is a gazetteer, which is a geographical dictionary that lists place names (for example, those of states, territories, counties, cities, towns, and townships) alphabetically for a geographical region. The type of information given in various gazetteers differs, but usually the state and county (and sometimes township) [for example, in U.S. gazetteers] are listed. This information will help to locate a place name on a map and to determine the town or county in which the major records (for example, vital, land, probate) are located.

In the mid 1960s the library took over management of the map collection previously housed in the Geography Department. In 1969 the library became a depository for United States Geological Survey maps. The collection now contains almost 190,000 maps and 2,300 atlases. General Description. The map collection is a non-circulating reference collection of maps, atlases, gazetteers, soil surveys, and climatological publications. The collection exists to serve the research needs of the faculty, students, and staff of Western Michigan University. The vast majority of the maps are acquired through the U.S. depository program and consist of various topographic series from the United States Geological Survey, maps of foreign countries from the Central Intelligence Agency, national forest and grassland maps from the Department of the Interior, and nautical and aeronautical charts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Note: Please do not fold maps from the drawers, even if they seem to have been folded at one time. We are trying to preserve them; folding and refolding them will cause them to tear sooner.
