The ICGC Digital Map Library: A Benchmark with 100,000 High-Resolution Historical Maps and Documents

25/08/2025 11:46

At the ICGC, we offer the Digital Map Library, which features a collection of nearly 100,000 documents from the cartographic and documentary heritage covering Catalonia and the world. It includes materials from various periods and formats, such as loose maps, atlases, globes, books, photographs, and other resources ranging from the 15th century to the present day. All are available online and can be downloaded for study or research purposes.

Created in 1985, the Map Library has become a benchmark in the preservation and dissemination of territorial knowledge. The digital catalogue has been publicly accessible for nearly two decades and is continuously enriched with new additions.
