Affiches chinoises : De 1950 à 1970, le gouvernement chinois lança de nombreuses campagnes d’affichage pour diffuser les techniques de prévention de la malaria, à l’époque un terrible fléau dont le contrôle fit même appel à la lutte contre les esprits malins de la malaria ! Ces affiches, certes souvent pittoresques, sont maintenant des objets de collection.

Cartes britanniques d’état-major : The Ordnance Survey started life in Britain in the late eighteenth century, and its original purpose was military in nature. It traces its origins to1746 when King George II commissioned a military survey of the Scottish
highlands. Almost fifty years later, the Board of Ordnance (the defense ministry at the time) began a survey of England's southern coasts, which were vulnerable to attack from nations on the Continent. The real gems here are the two full-length books that visitors can read at their leisure. They are "A History of the Ordnance Survey" by W.A. Seymour and "Ordnance Survey: Map Makers to Britain since 1791".
