Scope and Contents: These maps, which comprise the 2008.10 accession, were created between 1933 and 1980. The primary geographic focus is the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, South West Africa (present-day Namibia), and Bechuanaland (present-day Botswana). Other maps include Angola, Uganda, Rwanda, Belgian Congo, and Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe). Several maps were clearly used by the Marshall family in planning their expeditions to southern Africa during the 1950's. A few include information provided by the Marshalls based on their experiences in the area. Two hand-drawn or hand-modified maps specifically detail the routes taken and areas explored by the Marshalls. Several large kinship diagrams, probably created by Lorna and John Marshall, are included at the end of this series. Kinship diagrams are restricted for privacy reasons. Please note that some maps are very fragile and are not available for viewing. Maps are rolled unless otherwise noted. Please refer to maps by accession number (listed at left).
