Being a secret revolutionary, I'm responding publicly to the whole list
('MAPS-L') rather than privately off-list, in order that all can view a
web-page - 'Images of early maps on the web' - on the gateway site
www.maphistory.info/webimages.html ("Last updates 1 July 2010").
It goes without saying that, if anyone has checked off this site and
'finds it wanting' then its initiator and maintainer (Tony Campbell,
ex-Map Librarian, The British Library) continually invites either
'Addenda and Corrigenda' (to use, in electronic speak, an outdated term)
or information/suggestions on further links. All in order to limit
duplication/replication, etc.

Forwarded from the Archives & Archivists listserv, I thought some of you
might have some great digitized collections to share.
Please respond directly to Ms. Katz Smith. Thanks!

Hi everyone. Have you created, or do you know about, any terrific online
collections of historical maps? I'm compiling a list for a session I am
giving at SAA and so I'm happy to receive any examples of great digital
projects of maps.
Please respond to me privately. At some point I'll send the whole list
to the forum.
