MapRecord Publications is the
publisher of the Antique
Map Price Record. This CD-ROM is issued annually (the current
edition is Vol. 23), and is recognized as the most comprehensive reference
work of its kind in the antiquarian
map
field.
Map collectors, dealers, auction houses, appraisers, and
libraries have all found the Antique
Map Price Record to be an invaluable reference
tool. And not just as a record of prices - the CD-ROM is often
the best place to start looking when trying to locate information about
a particular map: Who made or published the map? When was it made?
Where can I find reference books that describe the map?
This publication (sometimes called the "Jolly" after its
first publisher, David Jolly), is now in its 23rd volume.
Volumes 1 through 16 were print editions. Volume 23 (like
Volumes 17 through 22) is published as a CD-ROM, and it contains the entire
historical database going back to Volume 1 in 1983. Explore the history of
the Antique Map Price Record,
get a preview of how the CD works, or
find out more about the current edition and
how to order it.
What reviewers have said about the Antique Map Price Record CD-ROM:
|
Although it [the CD-ROM] retains the words "price
record" in the title, it is sure to become a substantial
reference tool of value to not only collectors and dealers,
but also librarians and scholars.

| Remarkable! ... what previously has
taken hours poring through huge stacks of books now can be done in
minutes with no heavy lifting. I am a believer. |

print volumes of this series, this CD-ROM makes
searching for information much easier, and anyone who
gets questions about the value of old maps will find it
a godsend. |
