We would like to post the following announcement about the Index and
Carto-Bibliography of Maps, 1789-1969, a part of the CIS US Serial Set
Index.  If possible, please confirm your approval for posting on MAPS-L with

The Index and Carto-Bibliography of Maps, 1789-1969 is Part XIV of the CIS
US Serial Set Index. Edited by Donna P. Koepp of the University of Kansas,
it provides detailed access to more than 50,000 maps in the US Serial Set.
(The Serial Set includes a wide variety of authoritative publications from
the U.S. Congress and may be the single most valuable collection of American
historical documents in existence.) The Index and Carto-Bibliography are a
valuable record of the history of the United States, documenting the ways
land was explored, settlements and cities built, Native Americans displaced,
industry and commerce nurtured, wars fought, and transport by water, land,
and rail engineered. Maps cover primarily the North American continent but
include coverage of many other parts of the world as well, and are indexed
individually by geographic areas and subjects, map titles, personal names,
and corporate names. The Carto-
Bibliography thoroughly annotates the subject matter and describes any
special features of each map.
