Virtual Mappa is a project in partnership with the British Library that so far has virtually collected and fully annotated a cohort of eleven early English maps of the world, including the Anglo-Saxon Cotton Map and the massive Hereford Map (1100 inscriptions!). Significantly, by editing within the DM environment, all of this content is now searchable across all maps included. With the completion of this first phase, more maps will be gradually added, as new contributors publish maps within the resource. For an earlier summary of the scope of the project, see this British Library announcement. Virtual Mappa is hosted and published by the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies.

Though the Hereford Map was edited and annotated as part of the Virtual Mappa project, above, in gratitude to the Hereford Cathedral and Library for providing their high resolution scans of the map to use for free, we also made them a standalone version of just the Hereford Map, completely annotated and linked.
