The Map Collection in Wilson Library houses paper nautical charts from the Salish Sea bioregion, including those published by NOAA and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
For U.S. charts, first locate a chart number using NOAA’s chart finder, and then search OneSearch to see if we have the chart in our collection.
For Canadian charts, you can use this chart index to locate a chart number. All of our Canadian charts are listed here in OneSearch; the catalog does not include titles of individual charts, just numbers and dates.
To access a paper chart, bring its number and publication year with you. If the maps office is closed, go to the circulation desk in Haggard Library, and ask for help accessing the Map Collection. Nautical charts are stored in the “freezer chests” in the northern part of the Map Collection.
