Maps, 1903-1975 and undated
This series includes maps from the News American library and maps utilized in the production of newspaper articles. The maps include full-scale fold-out maps, including state highway maps, United States maps, and world maps, which were likely used by News American writers during research on articles that they were writing. While many maps are located in the photographic series (see Series 1), a portion of the maps are physically grouped together in... boxes labeled with numerical identifiers (i.e. "MAP1") and stored separately. However, both groups of maps may be searched using the same database to the photographic prints available in the Maryland Room. Maps labeled "MAP0" in the database were declared lost in April 2017.
