地图学在二战后经历了革命性的变化。在不久的将来，这一时期的制图师所制作的新类型的文物和材料将成为研究现代制图史的基础。计算机软件、新的计算设备、计算机硬件和复杂的数学算法都需要以一种允许研究人员访问构成当今和未来地图学的概念和技术的方式加以保存。以下文件是一个案例研究，在保存收藏，通常不是在地图图书馆发现的传统材料的一部分。虽然本文是务实的性质，并特别侧重于软件和算法中发现的约翰·斯奈德收集的卫星测绘材料，现在在美国国会图书馆，它也解决了许多概念和理论问题，出现在保存作者所谓的“基础收藏”在历史上的制图。
Abstract The science of cartography went through revolutionary changes in the post-World War II period. In the near future the new types of artifacts and materials produced by the cartographers of this period will form the basis for the study of the history of modern cartography. Computer software, new computational devices, computer hardware, and complex mathematical algorithms all need to be preserved in a way that allows researchers access to the concepts and techniques that make up the cartography of today and the future. The following paper is a case study in the preservation of collections that are typically not part of the traditional materials found in map libraries. Although this paper is pragmatic in nature and focuses in particular on the software and algorithms found in the John Snyder Collection of satellite mapping materials now in the Library of Congress, it also addresses the many conceptual and theoretical problems that arise in the preservation of what the author calls “foundational collections” in the history of cartography.
