Islamic Mapping

This guide, created by Aishah Al-Mohamedi, focuses on Islamic maps and mapping.

It features examples drawn from the University of Michigan's Islamic Manuscripts Collection and Clark Map Library on the "Manuscripts and Facsimiles" page and offers guidance for finding additional materials in our library on the "Finding Materials" page. 

You will also find a bibliography of additional sources organized by theme on the "Further Reading on Islamic Mapping" page, as well as a page for "Related Research Guides."
