The concluding paragraph to that piece reads: "Although much work remains to be done before the center is completed, for now around 50,000 of the collection's maps are available for free online <http://www.davidrumsey.com/>." That might sound a bit ominous in terms of future online public access, but as I understand things the collection will retain its online presence, including free access to the public.
