Maps at the Kennedy Library

CAED students use maps on a regular basis to visually understand their site and its surrounding context. This guide will give you an understanding of the types of maps available to you, and how to gain access to them. Click on a map type to learn more.

 

Map Formats Available

Paper Maps

Paper maps are stored in the map room. Enter the map room from within the Reference Room, on the first floor of the library. For assistance locating a map, ask at the Reference Desk, or email me and set up an appointment for me to show you around.

Digital Maps

Some of the maps you need may be available online — see each of the different tabs above for details. If you want to create a custom map showing all the information you need in one place, consider using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create a map. The library has a wide variety of data available, and GIS assistants to help you create your customized map. See the library's GIS and Maps web site for further details.
