It occurs to me, following the response I sent a few minutes ago
(Subject: ‘Polish maps, esp. Warsaw, 1863-1939’), that the same (Dutch)
source might be able to help regarding Bruce Obenhaus’ request on ‘Help
finding historical borders of the Balkan countries’. See my former
posting’s link, where the author (Harrie Teunissen)’s ‘sign-off’
includes the following background info:-
“//Harrie Teunissen and his partner John Steegh are
////map////-collectors from ////Leiden////in ////Holland////. Their
jointly build up collection of some 8000 ////map////s and 1200 atlasses
and travel guides, mostly from 1750 – 1950, focuses on water management,
city development, ethnic relations and military conflicts. They organise
exhibitions based on this collection, like ‘The Balkan in ////map////s,
five centuries of struggle about identity’
(////Leiden////////University////Library 2003).”//
The ‘book of the exhibition’ in Leiden University Library was entitled
‘Balkan in kaart : vijf eeuwen strijd om identiteit : catalogus bij een
tentoonstelling in de Universiteitsbibliotheek Leiden, 4 september – 16
oktober 2003’. For fuller bibliographic details of this 167-page
illustrated book + CD-ROM, see entry no. 04:56.2(138) in my ‘Imago Mundi
Bibliography’ for ‘Imago Mundi’, 2004, 56(2).

I have a researcher looking for a vector layer (or a high resolution
raster) of the historical borders of the Balkan countries before the
First Balkan War (1912).
I’d appreciate any suggestions. Send them to me at [log in to unmask]
