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 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.

Experts estimate that about 90,000 manuscripts have been written in the Hebrew language. The
National Library (NLI) collection includes ~8,000 of them, along with ~2,500 manuscripts in the Arabic language and ~800 in other languages.
