Hi all,

I’m pleased to announce the launch of a beta version of Georgia State
University Library’s “Planning Atlanta: A New City in the Making, 1930s
– 1990s” digital map collection:
http://homer.gsu.edu/blogs/library/2012/09/18/visualize-atlanta%E2%80%99s-past-with-historical-atlanta-maps-from-gsus-new-%E2%80%9Cplanning-atlanta%E2%80%9D-digital-collection/

Planning Atlanta is a collection of Atlanta area city planning maps and
each can be viewed as a Google Maps and Google Earth overlay.  The
collection also provides direct access to GeoTIFFs and high resolution
JPEGs.  There are a few known issues with the collection in IE, but
everything should work fine in all other browsers.

Planning Atlanta collection landing page:

Enjoy!

Joe
