==About this Guide==

This guide is presented as a resource for librarians, archivists, museum professionals, students, and scholars who are involved in describing, digitizing, publishing, and studying historic maps of North Carolina. The guide is a product of the behind-the-scenes work that went into the North Carolina Maps digital project produced by the UNC-Chapel Hill University Library, the North Carolina State Archives, and the Outer Banks History Center.

-''North Carolina Maps: A Guide for Description and Digitization'' was developed as a supplement to existing map cataloging manuals and tools.  It was not intended to serve as a replacement for essential resources such as the ''Cartographic Materials'' supplement to AACR2, nor will it supersede other online resources, such as the Map Cataloger's Toolbox at the University of Buffalo.  It is primarily a resources for librarians and researchers for use in cataloging and studying maps of North Carolina.  However, we anticipate that map catalogers outside of North Carolina will be able to take advantage of some of the examples and terms contained here, and we welcome and encourage map enthusiasts everywhere to use, explore, and offer feedback on the resources in this guide.
