 Subject: Digital Map Vendors

Hi everyone,

I am new to this email list, & I apologize in advance if this question
has already been asked.  I have a faculty member who is looking for
vendors that sell historic digital maps, specifically of Europe, France
& Greece.  I've looked at the University of Oregon's list of map
publishers and distributors that I found through the ALA web site
(http://libweb.uoregon.edu/map/mappublink.html), but the ones I know
from the list do not sell digital copies.

 From what I understand, educational institutions are primarily the ones
that are providing historical digital maps (and some government sites,
although not many), often for free.  However, if we wanted to add these
maps to our CONTENTdm collections, wouldn't we have to own the maps or
somehow purchase access?

We're looking to start purchasing high resolution images, in this case
maps, to add to our CONTENTdm collections.  So we will order other
images of maps in the future, and am hoping you could provide some
guidance for me.
