Several different government offices have published the Daily weather maps over its history. The publication has also gone by different names over time. The U.S. Signal Office began publication of the maps as the War Department maps on Jan. 1, 1871. When the government transferred control of the weather service to the newly-created Weather Bureau in 1891 the title changed to the Department of Agriculture weather map. In 1913 the title became simply Daily weather map. Eventually, in 1969, the Weather Bureau began publishing a weekly compilation of the daily maps with the title Daily weather maps (Weekly series). The the principal charts are the Surface Weather Map, the 500 Millibar Height Contours Chart, the Highest and Lowest Temperatures chart and the Precipitation Areas and Amounts chart. This library contains a very small subset of this series: 11Sep1928-31Dec1928, 01Jan1959-30Jun1959, and 06Jan1997-04Jan1998.
