lectors should not overlook topical maps issued predominantly or exclusively after World War II, such as
navigational charts, industrial compound road layouts, or aerial projections. Potential collectors ought not to
disregard two superficially prosaic, yet important themes: maps of travel routes for family trips, and maps
that, for aesthetic reasons, they personally find intriguing or simply attractive. In the first case, like the box
with old family photos, the collection will give the travelers the opportunity to reminisce and relive the jour-
ney.
In most cases, photocopies are worthy alternatives to originals. For example, historical society collections
customarily include the high quality facsimiles needed to make a collection as comprehensive and practical
as possible, supplementing the contributions made by well-to-do donors and benefactors. If not predisposed
to wait patiently, and possibly ineffectually, for a lucky find, collectors may choose to sift through dealer
stock, peruse through advertisements in local, regional, or national periodicals, and solicit the assistance of
the U.S. Library of Congress and private agencies. Government and public agencies, companies, and trade
associations can advise the collector about maps currently in circulation and pending sales of dated reproduc-
tions, editions, and prints.
