Universities have been setting up collections for teaching and research purposes since the 16th century. Cartographic collections deserving this name, however, only came into being during the 19th century, due to the development of geography (in German often referred to as “Erdkunde”) and geodesy. The late emergence of cartography as a science also had a delaying effect. Early attempts in collecting were, for example made, at the University of Wittenberg, founded in 1502. Here, Phillip Melanchthon had a store of wall maps he used in teaching (Stams 1985).
