The Law Library Launches its First Interactive Map

The Law Library‘s Legal Reports Collection is home to publications on foreign and comparative legal subjects around the world.

A newly published legal report, Innovative Technology in Legislatures in Selected Countries, features the Law Library’s first published standalone interactive map. While interactive maps are a key component of many Story Maps and our Foreign Legal Gazette database, this new feature allows users to explore a report’s worth of data in a visually engaging format. This map surveys 89 independent jurisdictions.

The Geography and Map Division launched the Library of Congress Geospatial Applications Hub this summer. Here, you can explore past and future Story Maps and interactive map applications. The Law Library looks forward to creating more interactive maps to engage our readers with a wider wealth of information from our collections and publications.
