Supporting the Bodleian's Map Collection

2019 is the Year of the Map at the Bodleian Library, celebrating one of the world’s principal cartographic collections and one of the ten largest collections in the world.

Donations to the collection will help preserve rare and historic maps for future generations to use in research, and to bring its magnificent materials to the public through exhibitions such as Talking Maps, open in the Weston Library until March 2020.
