Lithuanian National Museum: Kazys Varnelis House
The collection of Kazys Varnelis, which had been gathered for fifty years and was later given to Lithuania as a gift, enriches
substantially the sets of Lithuanian cultural values, fills in the gaps of the collections possessed by Lithuania, and introduces new

objects as the oldest (1576) Vilnius city plan from the Third Volume of Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Eng. Cities of the World) by Georg
Braun; an imposing example of the Renaissance cartography, i.e. the map of Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł (the Orphan) (second edition
from the 1631 atlas by Willem Blaeu); and the 1735 map of Lithuania Minor (with attached plan of Gusev) signifying the territories
inhabited by Salzburg colonists.

Indiana University, Bloomington: Russian Military topographic collection
The IU collection of these (mostly) former Soviet Red Army topographic maps came to us from the duplicate map room of the Library of
Congress Map Collection. While by no means complete, this collection is a fine addition to our existing international map holdings. These
maps have a great story to tell: some carry the stamp from both the University of Berlin and the University of Bonn Geography
Departments, some are stamped "Captured Map", some carry the ID of the CIA Map Library or the Bureau of Geographic Names, and still
others are hand-annotated. They are in a variety of conditions (paper, laminated, photographically reproduced in color or black and white,
plasticized, or muslin-backed). The collection ranges from around 1880-1945.

Berkeley Library, University of California: Captured German Map
During World War II and in its immediate aftermath the U.S. Army Map Service (AMS) acquired large quantities of captured German World
War II maps which were important planning tools for the war of aggression waged by the Nazi regime and document the exploitation of
resources in Nazi-occupied territories. These maps proved invaluable to U.S. military planners during the early Cold War years, particularly
German military map series covering eastern and southeastern Europe. By the mid-1950s, however, the U.S. Army Map Service started to
deposit these German maps in U.S. research libraries. Today the German World War II maps form important legacy collections in many
American map libraries, including the UC Berkeley Library map collection. After 1945, U.S. map libraries largely focused on cataloging and
promoting the English-language American AMS and British GSGS World War II maps. Resource descriptions created for German World
War II military map series were rudimentary at best and even today generally consist of bare bones cataloging records that lack access
points and commonly include mis-attributions. As a result, in many ways the holdings of German World War II military map series in
American map libraries represent hidden collections.
