„Through Legal Deposit, the Library is entitled to receive a copy of every
printed map and atlas published in the British Isles. Recent changes to the
law mean that this will eventually be extended to include electronic map-
ping as well, including data created in Geographical Information Systems
(GIS).
The collection also contains a large amount of material deposited with,
donated to, or purchased by, the Library. This material mainly consists of
manuscript material, antiquarian printed material, and modern mapping
published overseas.
In addition to topographic mapping (maps showing the landscape) the
Library also collects thematic mapping (for example geological and land-
use mapping)”
