The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection
The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, San Francisco, CA, USA
Supplied note: "The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection focuses on rare 18th and 19th century North and South America cartographic history materials. Historic maps of the World, Europe, Asia and Africa are also represented. The collection categories include old and antique atlas, globe, school geography, maritime chart, state, county, city, pocket, wall, children and manuscript maps."
[In Feb 2002 the Collection contained over 6400 online maps. The site runs a Java-based 'Insight' map browser which requires Internet Explorer 4.0+ or Netscape Navigator 4.0+ . It is rather sluggish (when accessed from Australia, via a modem) but effective - ed.]
