The collection of 545 Nautical charts at the Boston Public Library's Norman B. Leventhal Map Center are a pleasure to behold. With documents that date back to the 16th century and created by cartographers from Spain, France, England, and other European countries, the charts detail the lands and waters of Nova Scotia, Boston Harbor, Maine, the West Indies, South Carolina, and many other locations. Readers may scroll through the charts one by one, or filter by author, publisher, date, location, and subject. In addition, the Map Center features a Teacher Resources tab, where educators can find lesson plans and activities that facilitate the use of maps in the classroom.
