Maps

Only Fraktur that had at least a county and state name associated with them were plotted on the maps. Individual Fraktur with no location data or only a state name listed were omitted from the maps. Also, if there was uncertainty about the location information provided, the Fraktur was left off the maps.

In three of the maps (Creation Location, Rites of Passage and Language), additional information can be found about each item by clicking on the dot that marks that item’s location. By scrolling to the bottom of the pop-up window, one can find a direct link to the item’s record provided by the Free Library of Philadelphia. This link also provides a full color image of each Fraktur.
