Special Geological Collection Acquired From Telberg Geological Map Service
East View Cartographic (EVC) has made an exciting acquisition of geological maps and atlases with a truly global scope. This collection, purchased from the Telberg Geological Map Service, contains thousands of unique items from regions such as China, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The Telberg family built this collection by establishing supply relationships with virtually every geological mapping authority in the world.
Geological maps have traditionally been the most difficult scientific maps to obtain in the first place, let alone reorder once stocks are depleted. EVC is working to make thousands of titles from around the world readily available by systematically cataloguing and digitizing perhaps the first comprehensive private collection of worldwide geological maps.
For immediate information on the availability of specific publications please refer the collection directory. It is only a partial listing of available items but our customer service department is always available to research specific requests at maps@cartographic.com or (800) 477-1005. As items are catalogued they will be added to the GIS-based EVC Store which can be used to search and browse EVC products, including geological items, at www.cartographic.com/hub.
Many items in the Telberg collection are now virtually impossible to obtain because they were produced in low press runs and come from some of the world’s most closed and isolated countries. Core elements include:
- African geological maps and atlases. Virtually every country from Algeria to Zimbabwe is represented. Maps include those produced by colonial European authorities (France, Belgium, Germany, Spain), as well as modern Soviet-assisted maps, United Nations (UNESCO, etc.) sponsored maps, and post-independence maps.
- Chinese geological maps and atlases. The Telbergs comprehensively imported virtually every geological map, atlas and reference publication from China since the end of the Cultural Revolution in the mid-1970s. Hundreds are now available, including many rare provincial-level geological publications.
- Asian geological maps and atlases. Countries of the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Far East and Oceania are depicted in a full spectrum of detail, large scale to small scale.
- Latin American geological maps and atlases. Complete regional coverage, from Mexico and Cuba in the north to Argentina, Brazil and Chile in the south. The Telberg collection even includes some extremely rare topographic maps.
- Soviet-produced publications. Probably the world’s most complete single collection of Soviet geological and geoscientific maps, atlases, and related reference works. Also substantial collections of political-administrative publications (including numerous oblast-level maps), as well as works by Soviet geologists covering numerous countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
- Other unusual geological and topographic maps and atlases. Includes oceanic/offshore geology, and polar geology (a number of virtually impossible-to-obtain Soviet atlases of the Arctic and Antarctica, as well as rare maps of Greenland). European and Canadian geological maps are also well-represented. Numerous countries, islands and territories are also covered in large-scale topographic maps.
