Cyrillic is an alphabet used in some Slavic languages (Bulgarian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian) and has been used in some non-Slavic languages (Kazakh, Mongolian).

Slavic designates a group of languages and ethnicities that include Belarussian, Bulgarian, Czech, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian among others.

This database's goals are as follows:

• To provide resources about uncataloged and cataloged Cyrillic-written maps in this library
• To access additional resources about cartography and geography of East & Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and Mongolia

The current focus of this database is on maps written in Cyrillic alphabets.
