The cartographic collection, one of the most important such collections in the world, includes ancient maps (from the 15th Century onward), ancient atlases, historical books on geography, holy books and non-fiction books featuring maps.

Along with ancient maps of various places in the world, the core of the collection consists of about 1,500 ancient maps of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel, as well as modern maps of Israel and its cities before and after the founding of the state.

The collection also includes 56 ancient maps of Persia, the earliest dating back to 1486, and 17 original maps by the cartographer Abraham Jacob Brawer.
