William C. Wonders Map Collection
I did not, alas, pay much attention to the William C. Wonders Map Collection at the University of Alberta when I was studying there (unfortunately, Ph.D. studies in modern French history didn’t allow for mucking around much with maps), but through MAPS-L comes news that the Wonders Collection’s catalogue is now online. The page itself is quite sparse, as you can see, so we’ll have to rely on the announcement (as well as this page) for details. Originally, the catalogue was handwritten, in 26 binders; creating the database, which covers 450,000 map sheets with 31,000 records, took 11 years. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find anything about the collection’s holdings, so we’ll have to search blindly and see what there is to see.
