-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Early Cambridge and Boston atlases Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2007 11:49:56 -0400 From: David Cobb <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] Organization: Harvard College Library To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]>, Discussion group for map history <[log in to unmask]> Colleagues - The Harvard Map Collection is pleased to announce a digital imaging project involving its early land ownership and fire insurance atlases for Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. These titles can be searched in the Hollis online library catalog under Bromley, Hopkins, or Sanborn and may also be found by searching in Hollis the following title: Harvard Map Collection digital maps. This will result in a geographic list of all of our digitally imaged titles and some that are currently in process. Currently, Cambridge is represented by the following years: 1873, 1885, 1894, 1990, and 1903 with additional years in process. Boston is represented by 1873 and 1902. The advantage of searching the "... digital maps" title is that you are also able to discover the additional digital maps available as well as the atlases. The atlases are served using our Page Delivery System which allows you to browse through the atlas, change page size, and zoom in and out. We hope that this provides an improved access to these valuable and significant materials as well as caring for their future preservation. We look forward to comments and suggestions that anyone may have. David Cobb -- David A.
