The canvas chart Folio is open on three sides with 4 ties to keep the charts in place. 2. Each Folio is numbered in the lower RH corner, and also has the Shelf number, SubRegion number, and a brief description of the contents on the cover. 3. Remove the Folio gently from the shelf, and either carry it to a large table, or use the top of the Chart drawers. The charts in the Folio are flexible, and easy to carry – although some Folios are quite thick and heavier than others. Ask the Library Staff for help if you need assistance. 4. Untie the 4 ties, and open the cover. There will be a list of each of the charts which should be located in that Folio. 5. When you are done, please arrange the charts in the Folio according to the list, re-tie, and return the Folio to the correct shelf. 6. The Folios are arranged by Folio Number and Geographic SubRegion 7. Folios were developed in the 1700’s to protect a group of charts, and make them easier to handle. Folios are still sold today, to keep charts orderly on board – or in a library. 1/9/2018 6 1/9/2018 7 Chart Cabinet Drawers Reference Only Regions: 1 and 7–9 USA & Canada, Indonesia, Australia & New Zealand, Oceania, South China Sea Geographic Drawer Region Subregion Area Locator 1 Michigan Maps and Miscellaneous US Gulf of Mexico to Cape Hatteras 2 1 11 Florida to North Carolina NOAA North Carolina to New York 3 1 12 & Connecticut River NOAA 4 1 13 New York to Maine NOAA US Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River, & Lake 5 1 14 Champlain NOAA Canada St. Lawrence River, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, 6 1 14 New Brunswick Canadian Hydrographic Charts 1202-1339, 1409-1435, 4003-4474 Newfoundland, Labrador, 7 1 14 Canadian Hydrographic Charts 4506-5031 8 7 71 Western Indonesia DMA 9 7 72 - 73 Central and Eastern Indonesia DMA 10 7 74 - 76 Australia and New Zealand DMA 10 8 81 - 83 Oceania SW Pacific DMA 10 9 91 - 93 South China Sea, Philippines, Malaysia DMA Framed above the File Drawers: Chart 14500 Great Lakes including depth & drainage basin Great Lakes NOAA Historical Chart, from 1755 Partie Occidentale de la Nouvelle France ou du Canada 1/9/2018 8 How to find a chart in the DRAWERS: a. Look in the Index online or in the 3-ring notebook for the DRAWER number. b. Find the drawer and open it. Drawer Numbers on the left, Drawer Subregion numbers are on the right. c. The chart number is usually somewhere near the front of the drawer. d. You may need to pull the chart drawer all the way out, and “fold back” some of the charts on top of the pile to search the charts lower down in the drawer. e. Lift the individual chart or a small group of adjacent charts out of the drawer, keeping the others more or less neatly arranged – this takes a little practice DRAWER # Region # 1/9/2018 9 f. Use a large table in the library or the top of the chart drawer cabinet to layout the chart(s) of interest. g. Getting the charts back into the drawer in order, may take a little patience. The easiest technique is to fold back all of the charts above the one you are returning, gently wiggle and lift the folded back group to allow the chart to slip into place. h. Wiggle a few charts at a time, to align their positions so they do not extend beyond the drawer, and the drawer can then be easily closed. i. If you need some help, ask one of the Library staff. j. It may be easier to carefully lift the entire stack to the top of the cabinet, and then replace all the charts in small batches in order in the drawer… 1/9/2018 10 Chart Cabinet Drawers Reference Only (no Checkout) DRAWER 1 Michigan Maps, Miscellaneous Michigan Maps: Forest Service: Hiawatha National Forest and Escanaba River State Forest Geological Survey Lower and Upper Michigan Isle Royale Topography DNR - by Section Delta County – West and East Parts Schoolcraft County – South Part Alger County - East Part and Schoolcraft County - North Part Alger County- West Part Dickinson County Baraga County Marquette County – Southeast, Southwest, North Part Menominee County- South and North Parts County Maps: Delta, Marquette and Menominee Great Lakes Fleets - Color Identification Lake Michigan Dive Chart Shipwreck Chart of the Great Lakes Miscellaneous: US Inland Navigable Rivers Map of states and rivers impacted by Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and Major Connecting Navigable Waterway Distances North Atlantic Ocean North Atlantic Ocean, Southern Sheet (NGA #120) Pilot Charts of the North Atlantic (monthly wind rose) World Map, Mercator Projection Used for navigation – a straight line shows the true angle of direction (but not the distance) Areas and shapes are distorted, especially near the north and south poles (Greenland looks larger than Africa, but is actually 14 times smaller) www.theguardian.com 1/9/2018 11 Region 1: United States and Canada DRAWER 2: 0526 North America, Atlantic and Pacific Coasts Subregion 11: Gulf of Mexico to North Carolina to Straits of Florida - Charts 11006 to 11555 11006 Key West to the Mississippi River 11009 North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida - Cape Hatteras to Straits of Florida - Sailing Chart 8/7/99 11013 Florida - Straits of Florida and Approaches - Sailing Chart 4/1/02 11325 Galveston Bay Entrance NH 15-9 Gulf of Mexico - New Orleans Topo Map 11363 Chandeleur and Breton Sounds, Louisiana 11420 Florida - Havana to Tampa Bay - Sailing Chart 1/13/01 11434 Florida - Sombrero Key to Dry Tortugas - Sailing Chart 3/21/92 11438 Florida - Dry Tortugas 8/11/90 11439 Florida - Sand Key to Rebecca Shoal 12/13/97 11441 Florida - Key West Harbor and Approaches 10/4/97 11442 Florida - Sombrero Key to Sand Key 2/10/01 11445 Florida - Bahia Honda Key to Sugarloaf Key 3/31/01 11446 Florida - Intracoastal Waterway, Sugarloaf Key to Key West 3/31/01 11447 Florida - Key West Harbor
