The University Map Library collects cartographic material in both paper and digital formats. The collection consists of digital geospatial data, electronic maps and atlases, printed maps and atlases, aerial photographs (digital and print), and cartographic support materials, including gazetteers. The Map Library houses over 100,000 maps, and 49,000 aerial photographs. While the geographical emphasis of the collection is on Canada, particularly southern Ontario, all areas of the world are represented in the collection.
The digital collection provides Canada-wide coverage and includes some world datasets, however the focus of the collection is on the local area. Significant data resources include orthoimagery for Southwestern Ontario and the GTA, provincial-level topographic data, Canadian street data, elevation data and census data.
