The Library of Congress’ Geography and Map Division recently launched an online presentation of 16 maps of Macau — Europe’s oldest permanent settlement in Asia — in the “Map Collections, 1500-2003” of the American Memory Web site.

Among the maps available online are a 1696 British Buccaneer Atlas and a Chinese Street Map from 1952.

The former Portuguese colony — which includes the city of Macau on a Chinese peninsula and the small islands of Taipa and Colôane — was first established in 1557. In 1987, China and Portugal issued a Joint Declaration on the Question of Macau, agreeing that the 21-square-kilometer administrative region would be returned to Chinese control on Dec. 20, 1999.

The materials can be viewed by going to memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/macau/macau.html.
