The charts have been copied onto 105mm microfiche which are arranged sequentially according to the call numbers cited in the chart lists. Some of the dates presented should be considered tentative, since some of the charts, particularly some from the 1850s, may be undated reproductions of official charts. Researchers should also note that the charts listed with dates from the 1840s are 1971 reproductions of 1940s items. Background information on early American hydrographic surveying can be found in Peter J. Guthern. United States Coastal Charts, 1783- 1861 (NW526.99/G984).
