CustodialHistoryOne copy of the map of Glarus and sections were in the archives. However according to the donation list in the Quarterly Journal, Murchison also gave a map of the Canton of Zurich. The secondary copies of the maps of Zurich and Glarus were mounted in a similar way so all have been transferred from the Map collection to be added to this series, May 2025.
