Item set

Title: 1910 - pre-1994 Map Collection
Alternative Title: Cory Library Historical Map Collection
Description: This digital collection comprises 119 historical maps housed in the Cory Library for Humanities Research at Rhodes University, dating from 1910 up to the early 1990s. The maps encompass a wide range of geographical and thematic materials, including urban plans, railway networks, regional studies, survey charts, and specialised maps used for planning and statistical purposes. Key map types include standard railway maps of South Africa, municipal plans (such as early Grahamstown and Port Alfred layouts), topographic and aeronautical charts, and maps associated with academic theses and regional planning documents.

The maps reflect major socio-economic, infrastructural, and administrative developments in South Africa and its Eastern Cape region over eight decades. They are invaluable resources for researchers working in urban history, transportation history, regional planning, colonial and post-colonial studies, and environmental change. This collection supports investigation into historical spatial relationships, transportation networks, and settlement patterns across different periods of the 20th century.
