I can't resist sharing the news that University of Chicago Map Collection staff members have put up a new page of scanned maps, this one focusing on 18th-century maps of Central Europe. The URL is

http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/su/maps/centraleurope18

. The page differs from other Map Collection compilations of scanned maps in that it provides access to a great deal more material; the maps are all older than those on the other pages; and the links for the moment are only to Luna (rather than to Zoomify and Luna).  

Last summer we also added Luna access to all the previously created pages, listed at

. You can read all about this at
