Discover Tasmania’s History: Premium Map Reproductions Now Available

A selection of The Royal Society of Tasmania’s remarkable collection of historical maps is now available as high-quality reproductions in our online shop. These museum-grade prints bring centuries of Tasmanian exploration and discovery directly to your walls.

Museum-Quality Printing Standards

Each map reproduction is created from high-resolution scans of original maps in our collection. The maps held within The Royal Society of Tasmania’s collection are both beautiful and uniquely informative, offering insights into what was, for a short time, known as Van Diemen’s Land – now Tasmania – a place undergoing dramatic change during the nineteenth century when many of the maps in the collection were created.

Our partnership with Full Gamut Fine Art Printers ensures exceptional quality:

• Printed with archival pigment inks on Canson Rag Photographique paper
• 100% cotton rag, museum-grade archival paper
• Prints designed to last over 100 years
• High-resolution scanning captures every detail of the originals

Maps are delivered as prints only, rolled safely in tubes for shipping. This approach reduces costs and gives you the freedom to work with your preferred framer to select the perfect style for your space. Whether you choose a classic wooden frame, modern metal, or ornate antique style, these historical maps make striking wall features.

Available sizes include A2, A1, and A0 to suit different spaces and preferences.

Historical Significance

The maps and charts in the collection reflect the broad diversity of interests of former members of The Royal Society of Tasmania from the early European exploration of Tasmania to the convict period and the search for mineral wealth in the remote western regions of the island.

The collection includes maps gathered by notable figures including James McClymont, Alfred Mault, Clive Lord, and Sir Ernest Clark, each contributing maps that reflect their particular interests and expeditions.
