Subject: Rumsey Maps now in Google Earth



16 Maps from the David Rumsey Map Collection can now be viewed in Google
Earth, along with modern satellite imagery and many other layers of
geographic data.  To view the maps, download the latest version of
Google Earth at www.earth.google.com <http://www.earth.google.com/> (PC
and Mac versions), then go to Layers/Featured Content/Rumsey Historical
Maps.  To enable transparency of the historic map layers, click on the
Rumsey Historical Maps folder when viewing a map and a slider bar will
appear that will adjust transparency for comparison of old and new maps
images.  Additional maps will be added in the coming months.
