A map collection is a storage facility for maps, usually in a library, archive, or museum, or at a map publisher or public-benefit corporation, and the maps and other cartographic items stored within that facility.
Sometimes, map collections are combined with graphic sheets, manuscripts and rare prints in a single department. In such cases, the expression "map collection" refers to the whole of the cartographic collection holdings.
Even in medieval libraries, maps formed part of the inventories. According to scholars of the renaissance, maps were collected from the 15th century, either at the court or at naval academies to prepare for voyages of discovery. Over time, new techniques, such as copper engraving, reduced production costs, and assisted in spreading maps more widely.
By the 17th century, private map collections were often the basis for public map collections. As early as 1571, for example, the Court Library in Munich, Bavaria, (now the Bavarian State Library) became the owner of the Fugger collection. In 1823, the British Museum in London acquired the King's Library, which had been inherited and greatly enlarged by George III of the United Kingdom, and donated to the Museum by his heir, George IV of the United Kingdom. The King's Library included a collection of approximately 50,000 maps, plans and views, which are now housed at the British Library and known as the King's Topographical Collection.
Harry Enson Hubbard (18 March 1903 – 16 October 1942) was an officer in the United States Navy.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Hubbard graduated from the United States Naval Academy in June 1925, served 3 years in battleship USS Maryland (BB-46), then qualified in submarines at New London, Connecticut. Following duty in submarine S-34, he completed Naval Academy postgraduate work, then served in submarine tender USS Holland (AS-3), and, was executive officer of destroyer USS Twiggs (DD-127). He served at the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode Island then commanded destroyer USS Roper (DD-147) 1939 to 1940, before assignment as staff gunnery officer for destroyers in the Atlantic. The latter duty terminated 1 March 1942 when Hubbard took command of destroyer USS Meredith (DD-434).
In command of Meredith, Hubbard helped screen carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) off Japan for the famed Doolittle bombing raids on Tokyo 18 April 1942. Thereafter he conned his destroyer on-arduous patrol and escort from Hawaii to the Samoan, Fiji, and Solomon Islands. His destroyer helped cover transports landing reinforcements on bitterly contested Guadalcanal 18 September 1942.

Personal comments from Harry Hubbard: "Paul and I wish to thank all of you for your participation in this historical documentary. We never supposed it would take off as it has, but we are happy you have enjoyed it. You can learn more about how we made this video by listening to our interviews on the Living Light Network at http://livinglightnetwork.org . It sometimes takes more than one viewing to absorb all the history in this video. There are several mysteries in this presentation we were never able to solve. First, of course Friesland is an outstanding enigma....with the capital of the country called Bondondea, we always wondered what life would have been like in a medeval city named Bondondea on an island in the North Sea. The sound of Bells in the far north? What is that abo...
Some would call David Rumsey a cartophile, while others may put it more bluntly and say he’s obsessed. Over 30 years he’s personally accumulated over 150,000 maps and he's just donated them all to Stanford University.
