The World Digital Library (WDL), hosted by The Library of Congress,
"makes available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual
format, significant primary materials from countries and cultures around
the world."

I am happy to announce that 22 of the American Geographical Society
Library maps from our Digital Map Collection have been added to the WDL.
These items are available for viewing with metadata translated into 7
different languages.

Over 700 maps can be viewed at the AGSL Digital Map Collection:

and thousands of photos from the AGSL collections are also available
through our digital collections:
