William C. Wonders Map Collection
The William C. Wonders Map Collection is the largest academic map collection in Canada (over 550,000 maps) and is the second largest collection in Canada. The largest is the Library and Archives Canada (formerly the National Archives) in Ottawa with over 2 million maps.
The map collection is kept in three different locations:
- The main collection is located on the fourth floor of Cameron Library.
- The archival and rare maps and atlases are kept in the Map Room, also located on the fourth floor of Cameron.
- Air photos, superceded maps and some other older materials are at the BARD (Book and Record Depository - an off-campus facility).
The collection has maps from all over the world, but the major regions covered are:
- Canada, expecially western and northern Canada
- United States
- Europe: Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britian, Poland, Ukraine, USSR
Both thematic and series (topographic/geographical) maps make up the collections. The most used section of the collection is the Canada 1:50,000 topographic series.
