Maine Highlands
- These early 18th and 19th century maps depict elevations and comparable features throughout Maine. Emphasis is placed on the northern region of Maine, the delineation of the border, and the shared geography between Maine and bordering regions within Canada. Notable map makers include Moses Greenleaf and Joseph Bouchette among others.
Bingham Purchase
- In the 1780s and 1790s, Massachusetts wanted to sell off large tracts of land in Maine. William Bingham, a wealthy man from Philadelphia, managed to buy these two large tracts totaling nearly 2 million acres. The documents in this collection show the initial agreements and then deeds granting the land to Bingham in 1793.
