Old Maps

I'm not a historical writer, but I saw this and thought of you guys. It's a searchable database of historical maps online.
Hope it's useful/interesting to someone.

Thanks Jimmy. That's a nice link to have.

Very cool

I just found a map for my novel, thanks a ton!

Cool!

Could we get this stickied so we can find it when we need it?

Blessings,

Great link, thank you for that.

I second what Siri said above, perhaps this could be stickied?

I never noticed that thread. I might not write historical fiction, but that will come in very handy for my Napoleonicish fantasy WiP. So thank you too!

Verrrrrry helpful. Thank you, Jimmy.

On the subject of maps, we should also put the Perry-Castañeda online map library in the resources thread.

Oh, this is brilliant. Another time-suck!

Thank you. I am addicted to looking at maps. These will keep me quiet for days.

Bookmarked.
