We are very pleased to announce that high quality reproductions of some of the highlights of the Map Collections covering Glasgow are now available from the Online Shop of the University.
You’ll find privately surveyed maps showing Glasgow in 1778 and 1828, as well as the first Ordnance Survey of Glasgow in 1865. This initial selection is rounded off with two sheets from the second edition of the Ordnance Survey Town Plan series for Glasgow showing the Royal Botanic Gardens and our own Gilbert Scott Building.

The reproductions are supplied on high quality matt paper which is well suited for displaying or framing. Whether you have an interest in the history of Glasgow, or are looking for a birthday or graduation gift, we hope you will find something of interest.
We will be adding more maps over time so keep checking the shop for new additions, or this blog for further announcements.
If you have any questions about these maps, or any other maps held by the University Library, feel free to contact the Maps, Official Publications and Statistics Unit.
