The collection of maps that the explorers donated to the town library was stored in a climate-controlled room. Although several maps showed similar coastlines, each one contained notes from a different journey. The librarian, together with two local historians, compared the notes before creating a public display. Their goal was not to choose the most beautiful map but to show how observations of the same coastline had changed over time. Because the room could hold only a few items, the display included three maps and a digital copy of the remaining materials. Visitors could enlarge the digital copies on separate screens and read a short description of each journey. The historians kept the full notes in a separate archive so later researchers could examine details not shown in the display.
