Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. In 1944, two Skidmore professors reimagined traveling around the city to visit attractions and highlighted other physical activities the city had to offer. The "Bicycle Map of Saratoga Springs-Skidmore College" was created by faculty members L[ouise G.]. Burbeck and B. [F. Elizabeth] Wiles for students, city residents and visitors alike. Streets are drawn in greater detail closer to Broadway and less detail farther away from the center of town. Emphasis is on the roads, but the railway and waterworks (today's road to Wilton) are still on the map. This map is not just about bicycling. It encourages all sorts of outdoor movement. All over the map sketch figures of humans (mostly women, like Skidmore's student body) and animals engage in an activity connected to an area in or around town. These include: skiing, ice skating, golfing, walking, biking, swimming, gardening, fishing, hiking and tennis. With all these healthy options presented, is it surprising to learn that the mapmakers were the College's physical education (Burbeck) and drama (Wiles) teachers? (It's perhaps good news that they weren't in the English department, as the indications for "Yaddow" and the "Cemetary" attest). The map also offers directions, with a compass, to other towns and cities near Saratoga Springs such as Albany, Schenectady, Cornith, Glens Falls, and Schuylerville. Did the guidance help bicyclists imagine longer trips or help orient the map reader? The bicycle map tells the story of not just the needs of a small city being addressed but also the entire nation. In 1941 America entered WWII, and while most of the war was fought overseas, rations affected what American citizens could and could not use, including gasoline, metal, rubber, and glass--all key elements in forms of transportation.

In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841." Many State Archives map catalog records refer to this as the "situation date." 1878 Date Published (Numeric) Date the item was printed. This will be set as a date field, accommodating only numbers. The field will be able to handle single dates or date ranges. This will not display, but will be indexed and searchable. 1879 Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. In his History of Saratoga County New York (1878), Nathanial Bartlett Sylvester described Saratoga Springs as “one of the world’s most famous watering holes, the peerless queen.” This map by Louis H. Cramer, receiver of taxes and land surveyor, and Jesse Mott, civil engineer and land surveyor – emphasizes the town’s more practical side and several different kinds of administrative divisions, drawing on knowledge gained over decades and through other collaborations; in 1876, Cramer contributed to a Saratoga County atlas published by J.B. de Beers, whose maps of Saratoga Springs contained many similar elements. The title draws attention to the “allotment lines and lots” of privately owned land. In addition to indicating private property owned by men including James M. Marvin, a director of the Saratoga Springs and Schenectady Railroad, the map’s blue boundaries show original Kayaderosseras Patent land divisions. The legends and text reveal still more: 6 election districts, the location of fire alarm boxes and even distances from the town hall to various parts of the community. The town’s recreational side does come through, however, in identifying many cultural institutions, including the famed Saratoga Race Course, built in 1864. Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Library of Congress Scope Tiered geographical location (for example: United States, New York State, Saratoga County, Saratoga Springs, Congress Park). This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. City Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Cadastral maps Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Nineteenth-century Americans moved increasingly into cities. At the same time, lithography revolutionized printing and mapmakers realized that they could profit by turning city plans into decorative wall hangings. By 1848, Saratoga Springs had attracted an outside, city-boosting mapmaker. Surveyor, lithographer and printer John Bevan’s 1848 map features a familiar-looking city center. If read closely, this detailed map reveals the who, what, where, and why of the city’s growth. A list of map subscribers displaying personal and civic pride (on the right) includes prominent town residents like the Putnam family and Chancellor Reuben Hyde Walworth. Building outlines and footprints show the increase in businesses and attractions, such as the United States Hotel, Congress Hall, mineral springs, and the Saratoga & Schenectady Railroad. The eye follows the town’s growth up Broadway, tracking the line of mineral springs anchored at High Rock to the north and Congress Spring to the south, mapping both spatial development and the reason for it.

For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

The many springs and bathhouses that drove the town’s economy are shown in some detail, including in many places the canals and channels used to move the healing waters from their source to the paying customers. Also shown are the many grand hotels built to house visitors, including the enormous United States and Grand Union Hotels on the west side of Broadway. The race course for which the town is now famous was built along Congress Street in 1863, on a parcel just southeast of the area shown on the map. The visual appeal of the map is enhanced by a fine lithographic vignette of the Empire Springs establishment, an ornate compass rose, and a finely-wrought foliate border. A list at left identifies more than 100 individuals and firms who paid subscriptions to help fund the map’s production. According to OCLC John Bevan published dozens of separately-issued town maps between 1850 and 1860, mostly for towns in New York, but also in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Though the Saratoga Springs map is undated, the layout and the known dates of Bevan’s other maps strongly suggest an early-mid 1850s date of publication. Most Bevan maps are extremely rare, with OCLC recording but one or two institutional holdings for each and Antique Map Price Record listing none at all offered for sale in the past quarter century. http://www.bostonraremaps.com/catalogues/BRM1627.HTM Subject - Geographic Library of Congress subject headings.

It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. In 1970, the City Planning Board worked with Murphy & Kren Planning Associates, Inc. on a map and report for the New York State Department of Commerce Bureau making recommendations for a 20-year development plan that identified Cady Hill and the area by I-87 as places to grow industry, and Geyser Crest and the West Side as targets for residential development. This plan, financially aided by federal and state funds, was adopted by the city council in February 1971. This map includes more kinds of land use than in 1937 (seasonal, high and medium density residential, commercial; industrial; parks; public/semi-public; track), but the overall thrust is the same. The Murphy & Kren map highlights development interests beyond Broadway’s axis and the corporation line “inner” district and the report underlines the need for schools to be integrated in new neighborhoods.

This map shows the Yaddo estate and gardens in a map drawn by Philip Reisman (1904-1992) during his 1934 residency there. The spots marked on the map legend as North Farm and North Farm Studio indicate roughly where Exit 14 is now located. Philip Reisman’s sketch map of Yaddo captures a personal take on outdoor setting for members of this artist’s colony on the former country estate of Spencer and Katrina Trask. Whether thinking, writing, making music or strolling, the artists in residence at Yaddo in the 1930s roamed a park-like setting and lodged in studios recently converted from a model farm’s barns and stalls. Today as in Reisman's day, the mansion and Italianate rose garden welcome visitors. But in the late 1950s, North Farm and North Farm Studio were cleared for I-87 (the Northway), and its Exit 14. Yaddo leases the 150 acres that are now across the highway to Saratoga National Golf Course. Five new live-work studios will be built this year along four ARTIFICIAL? lakes — named after the four Trask children. <br /><br />For more details on Yaddo and the Trask family, see the New York Public Library's f<a title="NYPL, MSS 4795, Yaddo" href="http://archives.nypl.org/mss/4795">inding aid to the archive</a>.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This color pictorial map is a fold-out brochure created by the Saratoga Springs Chamber of Commerce to serve tourists. Recto: The brochure titled "Visit Saratoga Springs: King of Resorts, Queen of Spas" promises "Recreation and Relaxation" in Saratoga. The top panels of the brochure detail some of the summer highlights of Saratoga Springs (eg. Saratoga Lake, horse racing, golf courses, spas, and historic sites). There is an inset map that details the modes of transport to access Saratoga Springs (by motor, rail, or air). The bottom half of the brochure outlines winter attractions in Saratoga (eg. skating, Skidmore College Winter Carnival, bowling etc.) as well as year-round activities (eg. ice fishing, baths, concerts, and dining). Black and white drawings accompany each activity/site outlined in the brochure. Verso: This side of the brochure includes a colored map as well as a list of "points of interest." The map focuses on downtown Saratoga Springs and offers an outline of streets (not drawn to scale) and modes of transport to and from the city. Larger than life-size drawings depict iconography of Saratoga Springs (eg. golf course, race horses, colonial solider from the Battle of Saratoga 1777, boating on Saratoga Lake, and mineral springs). The points of interest key (that uses numbers to mark important sites) offer brief explanations of the attractions/activities of Saratoga during the summer as well as offer information about the public or private accessibility of the attraction.

If we are certain, or even pretty sure, that one map is just a slightly altered version of another,the related versions should be listed here. A 20th century copy of this map, with the same title and several additions/modifications, is in the Saratoga Springs City Historian's Office. A brittle contemporary copy, is in the Saratoga County Historian's office. Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. City Plan Early maps Manuscript maps Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Plats – scale divisions of land or property – are an important form of urban cartography. Three versions of this 1810 plat, one of the earliest of Saratoga Springs, show founder Gideon Putnam’s properties shortly before his death, mapping out Saratoga Springs’ transition from rural land to urban settlement. Putnam and his wife Doanda settled in the area 1789. As he cleared his several hundred acres, Putnam found a number of springs along the fault line, realized their potential, and established Putnam’s Tavern and Boarding House in 1802, beginning Saratoga Springs’ rise as a tourist destination and thriving resort center. The Scott map is both foundational and influential. It exists in as an elegant original, drawn in red and black, in the New York State Archives. There are at least two later versions, all of them manuscript (hand-drawn): an 1825 copy, drawn by G.G. Scott, son of the original surveyor and held by Saratoga County; and a twentieth-century tracing, with a few buildings added for good measure, in the City Historian’s Office. This plat continued to be cited in property cases well into the 20th century. Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

Since the map is cited in the 1826 charter incorporating Saratoga Springs, perhaps G.G. Scott made it to help establish the corporation line. This map, drawn to indicate the properties belonging to Gideon Putnam, served as a document to detail the inheritance of his heirs after his death. This map is particularly damaged and several tears have compromised the readability. Road widths are indicated in some instances. This copy is drawn by G.G.

Seeking to reinvent its image and assert its place as an upstate New York hub, town leaders started several projects, working with state officials, to conserve the mineral springs and bring the visitors back. A defining moment for the town’s revitalization came with its incorporation as a city in 1915, which capped a period of municipal conservation efforts and a new era of mapping and zoning. 100 years since the city charter was signed, this exhibit tells the city’s origins and growth through its maps. Map Stories of Saratoga Springs Maps chart the tale of Saratoga Springs' settlement, establishment as a separate district within the town of Saratoga in 1819, erection as an independent village in 1826, and receipt of a city charter from New York State in 1915. Maps also reveal what mattered to visitors and residents: parks and parking, routes and roads, attractions and business, land and buildings, planning and development, what worked and what should change.. 250 Years of Saratoga Springs History Saratoga Springs History Museum 1 E Congress St Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 www.saratogahistory.org Exhibit Website: http:://ssmp.skidmore.edu/ Centennial Anniversary of the City of Saratoga Springs �2 1 Timeline The Past Through Maps The citizens of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., might think of making a map in order to influence policy (Figure 1) or of consulting one to plan a trip or to showcase in homes, schools and libraries (Figure 2). But maps also reveal a lot about the communities that made them--their ideas and values, their way of seeing the world, their hopes and dreams. In other words, maps tell stories. Accessible by Native American trails as early as the 17th century, the springs of Saratoga and the settlement that grew around them began to find their way onto many kinds of maps--official surveys, city plans, tourist guides, and real estate brochures with late-18th c. European settlement. Small-scale and large scale, businesslike or humorous, black & white or color, these historical maps provide details or data about the city's past. Maps takes us through Saratoga Springs' history from its origins as a crossroads between Canada, New York and New England and a draw for the healing power of its mineral waters to its present day as a lively spot for meetings, nightlife, and recreation. 1777 Battle of Saratoga 1789 Gideon Putnam arrived in Saratoga Springs 1791 Saratoga County established 1803 Putnam’s Boarding House built 1819

  Saratoga  Springs  became  a  city  at  a  time  when  reinvent-­‐ tion  and  renewal  were  on  state  and  local  leaders’  minds.     The  1915  State  Reservation  Commission  report  mapped

 served  as  village   and  city  engineers  (1894  –  1942),  mapping  infrastructure,   plans  for  the  future  and  property  maps.    The  plans  and   maps  of  the  Lester  Brothers  real  estate  firm  (1860s-­‐1930s)   plot  development.  Charles  F.  Dowd  (whose  daughter   married  into  the  Lester  family)  was  an  owner  and  professor   at  the  Temple  Grove  Seminary;  he  is  perhaps  best  known   for  proposing  standardized  time  zones,  creating  maps  from   the  1860s.    More  recently,  civic  organizations  like  the  Lions     Club  and  Chamber  of  Commerce  produce  city  maps.   A  Word  About  the  Space  of   Saratoga  Springs   Saratoga  Springs  began  as  a  settlement  in  the  town  of   Saratoga  in  land  originally  part  of  the  Kayaderosseras   Patent.  In  1819,  an  act  of  the  New  York  State  Legislature   officially  divided  the  town  of  Saratoga,  adding  the  town  of   Saratoga  Springs  within  it.  The  new  township  received   about  half  the  land  of  the  original  municipality,  located  on   the  west  side  of  the  Kayaderosseras  and  Fish  Creeks.   Within  Saratoga  Springs  there  are  two  distinct  “districts”   created  by  an  1826  act  that  incorporated  the  village.     Saratoga  Springs’  territory  today  remains  largely  the  same   as  that  described  in  the  1819  act.  The  1915  city   incorporation  act  confirmed  that  the  city  retained  the   town’s  “present  boundaries,”  making  government  and   administration  “coextensive  with  the  territory  above   described”—in  other  words,  the  same.   �     Maps  and  Civic  Life   Maps  and  Urban  Development   Streets,  buildings,  and  land  divisions  may  be  the  most  obvious   features  on  a  map,  but  each  of  these  physical  elements   reflects  how  a  community  creates  and  uses  its  public  and   private  spaces.  Maps  help  us  understand  what  matters  to  the   people  who  live,  work,  and  play  in  a  town  or  city.  The  maps   displayed  in  the  exhibit  and  online  give  a  taste  of  some  of  the   most  enduring  features  of  civic  life  –  including  schools  and   voting  districts,  parades,  and  parks.   A  walk  through  Saratoga  Springs  today  reveals  glamorous   buildings  of  distinct  styles  that  range  from  simple  red  brick   facades  to  decadent  Victorian  mansions  and  even  southern   antebellum  porches  that  make  you  question  how  a  hint  of   southern  hospitality  made  it  so  far  north.  Fine  dining  is   everywhere  you  turn,  and  a  horse  will  always  be  displayed  to   remind  you  of  the  track.  Behind  the  city’s  current  lively   atmosphere  of  health,  history,  and  horses  lies  a  complex  history   of  urban  development.  Changes  in  planning  maps  dating  from   the  city’s  earliest  years  to  today  reveal  how  maps  since  the   1800s  have  shaped  the  city  into  what  it  is  today.   Maps,  Tourism  and  Travel   Since  the  1830s,  when  trains  began  to  deliver  summer  visitors,   Saratoga  Springs’  growth  and  development  moved  in  lock   step  with  ground  transportation.  Maps  reveal  how  Broadway   retains  its  role  as  the  city’s  spine,  despite  efforts  by  developers   to  entice  visitors  away.  They  also  track  today’s  familiar  routes   –  9,  29  and  50—from  a  network  of  trails,  roads  and  rail  tracks.   Dreamers  from  real  estate  developers  and  civic-­‐minded   residents  to  city  planners  and  college  professors  map   transportation  and  tourism  to  imagine  the  city  of  the  future.     Tourist,  urban  development,  and  transportation  maps   provide  complementary  sides  of  a

Text Mapping a City 1915: Incorporating a City Early 20th century Saratoga Springs faced a decline in its popularity as a resort and conference destination. Seeking to reinvent its image and assert its place as an upstate New York hub, town leaders started several projects, working with state officials, to conserve the mineral springs and bring the visitors back. A defining moment for the town’s revitalization came with its incorporation as a city in 1915, which capped a period of municipal conservation efforts and a new era of mapping and zoning. 100 years since the city charter was signed, this exhibit tells the city’s origins and growth through its maps. Map Stories of Saratoga Springs Maps chart the tale of Saratoga Springs' settlement, establishment as a separate district within the town of Saratoga in 1819, erection as an independent village in 1826, and receipt of a city charter from New York State in 1915. Maps also reveal what mattered to visitors and residents: parks and parking, routes and roads, attractions and business, land and buildings, planning and development, what worked and what should change. Saratoga Springs History Museum 1 E Congress St Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 www.saratogahistory.org Exhibit Website: http:://ssmp.skidmore.edu/ 250 Years of Saratoga Springs History April - December 2015 Sponsored by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust & JIMAPCO �2 1 Timeline The Past Through Maps The citizens of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., might think of making a map in order to influence policy (Figure 1) or of consulting one to plan a trip or to showcase in homes, schools and libraries (Figure 2). But maps also reveal a lot about the communities that made them--their ideas and values, their way of seeing the world, their hopes and dreams. In other words, maps tell stories. Accessible by Native American trails as early as the 17th century, the springs of Saratoga and the settlement that grew around them began to find their way onto many kinds of maps--official surveys, city plans, tourist guides, and real estate brochures with late-18th c. European settlement. Small-scale and large scale, businesslike or humorous, black & white or color, these historical maps provide details or data about the city's past. Maps takes us through Saratoga Springs' history from its origins as a crossroads between Canada, New York and New England and a draw for the healing power of its mineral waters to its present day as a lively spot for meetings, nightlife, and recreation. 1777 Battle of Saratoga 1789 Gideon Putnam arrived in Saratoga Springs 1791 Saratoga County established 1803 Putnam’s Boarding House built 1819 Saratoga Springs becomes a district, town of Saratoga 1824 United States Hotel opens 1826 Saratoga Springs Village Charter 1833 First steam locomotive to Saratoga Springs 1863 Racetrack opens 1893 Convention Hall opens 1911 Racetrack closes for two seasons 1913 Village Park – later Congress Park – opens 1915 City Charter adopted by NY State Legislature 1918 Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce forms 1923 First zoning map 1951 Saratoga Springs casinos closed 1963 Northway (I-87) opens 1966 Saratoga Performing Arts Center opens 1984 City Center opens 2004 Saratoga Gaming & Raceway opens 2015 Centennial of City Charter � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. The 1960s in Saratoga Springs was marked by a need for change to combat years of previous decline. Saratoga Springs fell into a period of decline after World War II and urban renewal was the clear response to update the city’s reputation. The Federal Housing Act of 1949 set a standard for American cities to be beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. As cities across the country at this time were seen as centers of urban decay, an economic boom generated the funds for rebuilding. Federal subsidies allowed local governments to invest in urban renewal projects and in turn local governments receive money for public infrastructure. A pamphlet created in 1965, “Urban Renewal in Saratoga Springs,” proposed to citizens that “beautiful” and “new houses” were needed in a core area downtown, off Broadway. The Agency distributed 1,000 copies to property owners to provide basic knowledge of “urban renewal.” The main objective as described in a March 24, 1965 article by the Saratogian, was “to provide the plasma to inject the incentive for private investors to revitalize both residential and commercial segments of the heart of the city.

For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Although undated, details on this larger and linen-backed version of the map suggest a twentieth-century copy. The drawings of the schoolhouse and meeting house represent buildings that did not exist in 1810; such pictorial images do not generally form a part of official plats (property maps). This map is Number 7 in the Ted Gray collection now held at the City Historian’s office, and could be the work of city engineer Samuel J. Mott or another early city planner. The Gray collection includes many redrawings of foundational Saratoga Springs maps and plans in the County records office. The maps in the collection likely served public and private surveyors and engineers. Bibliographic Note This field is used to describe two distinct things: cataloging information about a specific item, and information about an item's sources and edition. The first area incorporates information about where a cataloger found a title, publication date, or author attribution (for example, "Title supplied by cataloger" or "Publication date from copyright statement"). The cataloger should take care to use it only for bibliographic issues -- general descriptions and historic information belong in the Abstract and Historic Note fields. For maps: It also includes information about scale calculation (for instance, if the cataloger found the scale by translating chains into a modern measurement), situation dates (i.e. "The absence of Durham and Vance counties, created in 1881, suggests that the map shows North Carolina at an earlier date than the copyright of 1889 states"), and, in the case of many maps from the Outer Banks History Center, former call numbers. Information about sources and edition will most often describe notable features on the map that were used to distinguish it from a similar, but separate printing. It can also include the source for information in the abstract (often a gazetteer), the cartographer's source for a map ("This map is based on John Ogilby's 1672 map with few omissions"), the original publication date or the publication date of the map's first edition, names of additional books containing the map (in addition to the one from which it was detached), and a note if the map is of uncertain authorship. Map suggests that there were earlier surveys of the same area of land- property of Gideon Putnam Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. Neighborhood/District Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map.
