The Map Library of the Institut Cartogrāfic de Catalunya (ICC) in
Barcelona (Spain), went live last week with more than 5.400 maps of
Catalonia, Spain and all over the world
In November 2006 a new digitization project started at the ICC: a Metis
DRS2A0 scanner was bought, along with the software ContentDM from
Dimema, in order to scan and make freely available on the internet all
these materials. And on October 30th 2007 the Digital Map Library of the
ICC went live with 5.000 antique maps organized in collections
representative of geographical areas, and the whole collection of the
/Revista Catalana de Geografia/ (Catalan Geography Magazine) published
between 1978 and 1996. New materials will appear on the site on a
bimonthly basis.
