Indiana University has a nice description of World War II Newsmaps online, detailing the history of the resource and how the Newsmaps changed over time, discussing different features, layout, etc. This is a great resource!!! https://libraries.indiana.edu/wwii-newsmaps I remember writing up the text more than 20 years ago. Glad to see it is still available. --Heiko Heiko Mühr Map Metadata and Curatorial Specialist Earth Sciences & Map Library 50 McCone Hall University of California Berkeley, CA 94720-6000 [log in to unmask] (510) 643-9350 On Fri, Mar 29, 2019 at 7:17 AM Zellmer, Linda <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello, > > In working my way through our collection, I have discovered some World War > II Newsmaps.
