Macfaden <[log in to unmask]> Organization: University of Vermont To: [log in to unmask] Hello, I'm trying to find a copy of country boundaries for the entire globe, circa 1900, in a digital format (preferably an ESRI format). Various historical paper maps are available for purchase online, but I've been unable to locate any clearinghouses or libraries that contain such maps in digital form. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks very much for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sean MacFaden Spatial Analysis Laboratory Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources 220 Aiken Center University of Vermont 81 Carrigan Dr. Burlington, VT 05405 (802)656-3324 [log in to unmask] ----- End forwarded message ----- Maps-L
