Abstract
Study on the Cartographic Collection of the National Library of Mexico (known by its initials in Spanish asBNM), based on its documental organization through time, to assess its cataloging progress and the conservation conditions of the materials. What matters here is to equally disseminate the types of documents that constitute the collection and to ponder the importance of this cartography and its printed materials as potential sources for the scientific, social and humanistic knowledge of the nation. It also reflects on the challenges and the great remaining task in terms of cataloging, just as the imperative need of working with the BNM’s Conservation, Restoration, Preservation and Reprography departments in order to stabilize and guarantee the access to this collection.Authors who publish in Bibliographica automatically accept the following terms:
