DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS MAP COLLECTION, ca. 1855-1988 Linear feet: 15.9 linear feet Number of maps: 2591 This collection consists of maps originally donated to the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in various manuscript and museum collections. This does not include all of the maps in our holdings. Many manuscript collections still retain their maps when the maps are either small enough to easily remain in those folders or when the maps would lose meaning when removed from their original context. For more information on the collections that originally contained these maps, please consult the appropriate finding aid. Many of the maps within this collection were created by agencies of the Federal government; others were published by commercial firms. Researchers should consult with an archivist regarding the copyright restrictions for individual maps. Researchers unable to come and view the maps in person may request scanned copies of the maps. Scanned map images will be mailed to the researcher on disk as the file size of scanned maps is very large and cannot be sent as an email attachment. Please consult the current reproduction fee schedule for more information. Please note that some maps may be too large or too fragile for scanning.
