Serial Set Maps (via LexisNexis) Contains maps within the U.S. Serial Set which represent one of the greatest single collections of cartographic materials of the United States. From the exploration of the American West to the Parisian defenses during the Crimean War, the Serial Set carto-bibliographic records allow unprecedented access to the 52,000+ maps of the Serial Set. Searchable segments include title, geographic subject, map relief method, and names on map. Search results bring up carto-bibliographic entries with map title, notation of content, date, and the Serial Set Map ID number. The full carto-bibliographic view shows the entire record, below which is an abbreviated record of the publication in which the map occurs. The link at the bottom of the full document record accesses the PDF version of the publication in which the map occurs. Users can navigate to the specific map by using PDF bookmarks.

Alternative press index and Alternative Press Index Archive
Indexes journals covering cultural, economic, political & social change. Archive covers 1969-1990.
Gale Virtual Reference Library

Serial Set Maps
A specialized, additional search module for Readex U.S. Congressional Serial Set, Serial Set Maps allows users to focus searches on the maps themselves - the geographic areas they depict, the subjects they represent, their titles, and the names associated with the maps either as cartographers, explorers, or in some other capacity. Serial Set Maps will eventually cover the full scope of the Readex U. S. Congressional Serial Set. Its current range of coverage is:
Map images, records, and indexing for maps published in Reports and Documents of the 42nd Congress, 3rd session through the 52nd Congress, 1st session.
Covering years: 1872 - 1892
Serial Set Volumes 1544 - 2890
As of November 2007: 10,463 Maps
The folks at Readex are not currently planning on integrating this module into their main Serial Set interface.
