Scope and Content: This collection consists of Kent State University campus maps (Kent campus) from various time periods. This collection is incomplete and includes only separately published maps, not those printed in telephone directories or other bound publications produced by the University. It should be noted that many campus maps are found in the annual Catalog. Many maps in the collection are undated and dates have been approximated as indicated by the use of brackets. Maps will be added to this collection on a continual basis.

Alternative Form Available: Digital versions of maps from various time periods can be browsed online through the Kent State University Campus Maps guide created by Special Collections and Archives and the Kent State University Map Library.
