## Description

The Osher Map Library is a research and educational library dedicated to maps and related materials. Its website provides access to collections, exhibitions, reference resources, and services for visitors, researchers, students, and educators. Users can search the library catalog and browse maps, digital collections, map commentaries, and both current and past exhibitions. Collection search tools support discovery by keyword, title, region, creator, date, subject, item type, map type, and donor. The library also offers imaging services and research assistance through an “Ask a Librarian” service, alongside information about research fellowships and student employment. Educational programs include K–12 field trips, group tours, lesson and activity kits, professional development, a mapmaking contest, and summer camp. Visitors can find practical planning details, including directions and parking, and learn how to book a visit or educational kit. The site also provides information about donations and gifts, the library’s history, news, and events. Together, these resources make the Osher Map Library a hub for exploring maps and using them for research, teaching, and learning.
