Abstract
In December 1985 the authors published an article in The Cartographic Journal (Watt and Browne, 1985) describing the use of the proprietory database package called Datatrieve for cataloguing maps. This current article outlines the development and presentation of a 'front-end' which effectively hides Datatrieve and turns the facility into a very flexible menu-driven system for map cataloguing. Attention is concentrated on how to use the catalogue rather than the methods used to establish and update the collection of maps, which would primarily be the responsibility of the Map Curator.
