Summary/Abstract: Mapping is one of the basic processes of the visualisation of collections of data. The purpose of the present article is to present a strategy of the development of a map in order to visualise the results of the evaluation of the state of preservation of the collections of codices. This instrument may be used when conditions such as the evaluation of an entire collection of books, the spatial community of a collections, or the representation of the sequence of the arrangement of volumes on shelves on maps are fulfilled. One suggests two versions of a map of the evaluation of the state of preservation: a map which uses a decimal structure and a map which is an accurate delineation of the arrangement of bookshelves in a storage room. An example of the application of the second form of a map is a table which presents the map of the results of the evaluation of the state of preservation of a part of the collection of books of the Camaldolese of Bieniszew, which is currently stored in the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków. The interpretation of the map will enable the identification of the places of potential microbiological threat and to indicate of “special treatment” volumes, which require the ensuring of security, isolation and the appointment for relevant conservation.
