SEARCH RESULTS:




WELCOME TO OFFICE OF COAST SURVEY'S HISTORICAL MAP & CHART COLLECTION

Start your publication search from this page. The publications include Annual
Reports, Chart Catalogs, Reports on Special Topics, and much more. They provide
context to our Collection.



For example, on this chart we find a triangle and a five-pointed star and are
curious about their meaning and want to find more information. We begin by
filling in the appropriate search fields.



Because the chart was published in 1902, we want to find related documents from
the same time period. We add Year Min : "1890", Year Max : "1910". We also want
to limit our search to publications that contain the word; "symbols", so we
added Keyword : "Symbols". Next, we review the results by clicking the open link
to open the pdf in a new window.



Finally, we search the pdf. If the pdf has been through an optical character
recognition program, the text is searchable and we can use the pdf search
function. Depending on our browser, this step may be done automatically because
your keyword search is passed to the pdf by the URL. If it is not done
automatically, press " Ctrl & F " keys together to bring up the search field. As
a result of the search, we find the five-pointed star symbol represents a
lighted beacon and the triangle symbol represents a beacon that is not lighted.
