While most are in the Company's archives in Manitoba, Ruggles has tracked down maps in other collections, particularly in various libraries in London, England. Also included are sixty-six reproductions of the most important maps and map details.

Atlas : a world of maps from the British Library
From the publication in 1595 of the first 'atlas' by Flemish cartographer Gerhard Mercator, the term has become a universally adopted title for books containing accurate, uniform, and evenly spread maps of all or some of the world. This is an atlas with a difference. Few of the maps in this book could reasonably be called 'accurate' in the modern sense and could almost certainly not be used to plan a journey. Yet this atlas can help us to travel in a way that regular atlases do not, because by looking at old maps and getting to know their stories we can be transported back to the times in which they were made.The generous, full-colour illustrations of each map in this book range from the Klencke Atlas to Hokusai's Map of China, from a 1682 pirate map of Guatemala to 20th-century cartographic postcards featuring maps of Australia. Atlas is the definitive printed showcase of the British Library's extensive and unparalleled map collection.-- Publisher description.

From medieval maps to digital cartograms, this book features highlights from the Bodleian Library's extraordinary map collection together with rare artefacts and some stunning examples from twenty-first-century map-makers. Each map is accompanied by a narrative revealing the story behind how it came to be made and the significance of what it shows. The chronological arrangement highlights how cartography has evolved over the centuries and how it reflects political and social change. Showcasing a twelfth-century Arabic map of the Mediterranean, highly decorated portolan charts, military maps, trade maps, a Siberian sealskin map, maps of heaven and hell, C.S. Lewis's map of Narnia, J.R.R. Tolkien's cosmology of Middle-earth and Grayson Perry's tapestry map, this book is a treasure-trove of cartographical delights spanning over a thousand years.

ANZMapS At Fifty: A 1976 interview with Tom Knight, Chairman of the Australian Map Curators' Circle (1973-78), and Map Curator at the National Library of Australia (1962-76)
To mark the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Australian Map Curators' Circle (AMCC) - the forerunner of the current Australian and New Zealand Map Society (ANZMapS) - a recently-discovered 1976 interview with the inaugural AMCC chairman, Tom Knight, made just prior to his retirement as Map Curator at the National Library of Australia (NLA), is published for the first time. The interview discusses the state of the NLA map collection, along with important acquisitions and researcher use, and also the state of world cartography in the 1970s. Besides identifying a long-forgotten, uncatalogued and badly damaged 19th century globe in the NLA collection, the interview provides a fascinating window into the state of map curating as a profession, and map-user needs, at the time the Society was founded half a century ago.
