Subject: [ha-Safran]: Digitized Holy Land Maps
The Jewish National and University Library, David and Fela Shapell
Family Digitization Project is pleased to announce the opening
to the public of the digital collection: Holy Land Maps. This project,
based on the Eran Laor Cartographic Collection at the JNUL, contains
over 1,000 maps dating from 1462 through the early 20th century.
The site can be accessed at:
http://www.jnul.huji.ac.il/dl/maps/pal/html
Each map is presented in a variety of image formats, including the
zoomable MrSid format (which requires a special plug-in, available at
the project site).
The maps are arranged both chronologically and by persons
(cartographers, engravers, etc.). A number of maps are arranged by
specific locations such as Acre or Mount Tabor (maps of Jerusalem are
in a separate, previous, site).
The bilingual site also contains an introduction and links to related
sites. Each map is accompanied by detailed bibliographic data.
