Abstract
Cartographic collection of Croatian State Archives is the second largest cartographic collection in Croatia. Today, it contains over 4 000 cartographic units (signatures). As the collection of the national archives, the collection primarily contains old maps and atlases while recent cartographic production (after 1945) is less represented. The largest part of that cartographic material shows us Croatian country, but also its neighbouring countries, with which Croatia has been politically and culturally connected. The Collection contains all kinds of general and thematic maps, charts, plans and atlases from 16th to 20th Century, so it’s valuable source for all kinds of researches. All cartographic units are described according to International Standard Bibliographic Description for Cartographic Materials (ISBD(CM)). As the result, catalogue and a computer database has been created. This way of card processing provides high degree of the access for all kinds of user requirements.
