The Digital Map Archive represents a unique collection of printed and manuscript geoscience maps from around the world. Here, you can find maps of various geological disciplines at various scales. The collection also includes maps dedicated to mining in the Czech Republic in 16th - 20th centuries.

In order to find a desired map, use the Quick Search or Detailed Search buttons in the top bar. The search result provides map information, a graphic preview, and any relevant map supplements (such as reports, explanatory notes, legends, geological sections). Map supplements may also be searched for separately via the Map Supplements button in the top bar. The Map of the Czech Republic button allows you to work on an interactive search map of the Czech Republic (according to localities, administrative units or by drawing directly on the map). All relevant archive maps are linked to the territory of the Czech Republic and provided with a bibliographic description and preview.
