Yale, Beinecke Library:

Following the apprehension of E. Forbes Smiley III in the act of stealing maps from the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in June 2005, Yale University Library instituted a thorough search through its collections, to determine which other maps might have been stolen. While this search was in progress, we also introduced new, permanent security measures both in the Map Collection in Sterling Memorial Library and in the Beinecke Library.

Now that Forbes Smiley has admitted in court to the theft of a total of 97 maps from several libraries, including both the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library and the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale, we know which maps we can expect to recover as a result of the government's investigation. Pending Mr. Smiley's guilty plea, the federal authorities had asked that Yale not publicly disclose the identity of missing maps. We are now free to publish the results of our inventory, which was produced by several staff members working intensively over a period of months to investigate all possible records, and to carry out an exhaustive check of our holdings of rare maps. The list of maps missing from the Map Collection in Sterling Memorial Library is now posted at :

http://www.library.yale.edu/MapColl/msgmaps.html

We believe this list is as complete as possible, and we hope it will be helpful to the map community, including dealers, collectors and librarians. If additional material is recovered, or more items are discovered missing, this list will be edited accordingly. Missing maps from the Beinecke Library will be posted soon.

Yale University would be profoundly grateful for information leading to the recovery of any of these irreplaceable maps. Anyone who believes they have such information, and anyone wishing to ask for further information, should contact in the first instance Danuta Nitecki ([email protected] phone 203-432-1818), Associate University Librarian for Public Services. Enquiries relating to the Beinecke materials should be directed in the first instance to Professor Frank Turner ([email protected], phone 203-432-2959) Director of the Beinecke Library. I will also be glad to hear personally from anyone with comments or questions about the Yale Map Collections.

Following the sentencing of Edward Forbes Smiley III, we again bring to your attention the loss by the British Library of copies of the following three maps:

The untitled world map known as the George Best world map of 1578 (Shirley, Mapping of the World, 138).

The untitled first issue of the so-called Alexander map of New England and the Canadian Maritimes of 1624 (Burden, Mapping of North America, 208) - fan image of this copy is attached to this message.

The untitled second issue (1625), from Purchas His Pilgrimes, of the second state of the so-called Alexander Map. If you have knowledge of the current whereabouts of the British Library's copies of these maps, or any information that may lead to their recovery, and/or knowledge of copies of these maps having been traded or acquired by dealers, libraries or collectors since March 2004, please contact [email protected] or [email protected]

The British Library thanks you in anticipation for your assistance in this matter.
