The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was a British organization founded in 1826 with the goal of making educational materials more widely available to the general public. One of its notable contributions was the publication of maps and atlases, which were designed to be informative and accessible.

"Siberia and Chinese Tartary" is a map produced by the SDUK in 1838. This map would have depicted the vast region of Siberia in Russia and the adjacent area of Chinese Tartary, which encompassed parts of what is now northern China and Mongolia. Maps like this were valuable resources in the 19th century for providing geographical information about these remote and relatively unexplored regions.

The SDUK was established by a group of intellectuals and reformers who believed that knowledge should not be restricted to the privileged few. They wanted to create affordable educational materials, including maps, books, and periodicals, that could be accessible to a broader audience.

One of the most notable contributions of the SDUK was the publication of maps and atlases. These maps were designed to be clear, accurate, and informative, making them suitable for educational purposes. The society also published a series of works on various subjects, including science, history, and travel.

The SDUK's maps and atlases were renowned for their quality and attention to detail. They covered a wide range of regions and provided valuable geographic information during the 19th century. These maps often included explanations, historical notes, and statistical data, making them educational tools as well as geographic references.

The SDUK's efforts had a lasting impact on education and the popularization of knowledge. Their materials were widely used in schools, libraries, and households, contributing to the spread of literacy and the understanding of the world.

The society's activities declined in the late 1830s, and it eventually disbanded in the 1840s. However, its publications, especially its maps and atlases, remained in circulation and continued to be appreciated by scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts.
