This comprehensive collection of travel and tourism guidebooks from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is especially strong in the publications of the Baedeker publishing house. The collection also includes railroad and bus schedules as well as road maps. The collection is being processed and cataloged in OCLC, as items are received by OML, and records are downloaded into Ursus and here.
