Para las bibliotecas, los mapas antiguos constituyen, desde el punto de vista del procesamiento técnico, una de las tipologías documentales más complejas. Por su doble naturaleza, cartográfica e histórica, por la variedad de las características iconográficas y simbólicas que presentan y por los elementos artísticos empleados en su ornamentación, su análisis documental no es sencillo. Esta tarea muchas veces se torna aún más trabajosa por la ausencia de datos –ya sea debido a que no fueron incorporados en el momento de creación de la obra o a una posterior pérdida de soporte– y por las lenguas extranjeras o arcaicas en la que están expresados los rótulos y textos que incluyen. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar algunas de las características que, con mayor frecuencia, aparecen en estos documentos para contribuir con la elaboración de registros que contengan detalles precisos y exhaustivos. Una descripción catalográfica con mayor nivel de detalle brindará a los investigadores de diferentes disciplinas, un conocimiento más preciso de los fondos cartográficos que consulten.
