Subject: New York State Historic Maps on the Web
 
        A small collection of maps of New York State produced prior to 1830 is
now available on the Stony Brook University Web site.  The collection may also
be worth investigating for those interested in states adjacent to New York,
since it includes a number of famous early maps showing the entire Northeast.
Examples are Blaeu's _Nova Belgica et Anglia Nova_ (1635) and Jefferys' _Map of
the Most Inhabited Part of New England_ (1755).  The address of the URL is:
http://www.sunysb.edu/libmap/nymaps.htm
 
        The maps are in JPEG format and average 300 kb in size.  It will
require an Internet connection with a graphics interface (such as Mosaic or
Netscape) and more than a minimal amount of RAM to view them.
