Hi John,

Apologies for not responding to your email. I thought for sure someone
had replied - and had done so off-list.  In any event, here's an on-list
reply ... see below.

Only a couple of these are digital sources - but still, it's a nice
list. Don't forget that the Library of Congress has many maps online and
available for download (www.loc.gov ). I would also imagine that
individual libraries that have online collections sell or make available
their images depending on copyright. That's a case by case bases of
course (for example, you can purchase map image files from my library
http://www.uwm.edu/Libraries/AGSL/digcoll.html ).

Good luck!

Could anyone recommend vendors that sell digital maps?  I emailed this
list last week about vendors who might sell historical thematic maps,
but didn't receive any feedback.  I'm hoping that someone could respond
with a few recommendations or suggestions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

John
