Maps and Ephemera Wanted

I am always seeking to acquire, through purchase or trade, pre-1900 maps, pocket maps, books, atlases, newspapers, pamphlets, and ephemera in general, relating to the state or territory of Nebraska.

This site endeavors to provide information regarding the history and development of the area delineated as Nebraska, whether as an unorganized region, a territory, or, as now, a state.  Part of the site also answers questions about Nebraska as it is today. I collect antique maps both for personal research and as "artifacts" in classroom, museum, and commmunity presentations.  All material, including images, on this site is for free public use.
