The Clark Library Map Collection has over 435,000 items, with original items dating to 1525 and facsimiles of maps dating to several hundred years earlier. The collection has been very diligently assembled through purchases, government deposits, and gifts to support the instruction and research needs of our campuses and broader communities, which is all to say that we have many, many amazing maps, atlases, and globes. Please come and engage with these wonderful objects.

Join us for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.

While you’re here, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the three Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library, International Studies, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!
