I am not really expert in this, but there is Appendix H, "Cartographic
Electronic Resources," located in the _Cartographic Materials_ manual
for AACR2. Also, in terms of early maps, quite a number of maps from the
David Rumsey Collection (www.davidrumsey.com) are cataloged as
electronic resources in WorldCat.
