Source: ManagingInformation.com British Library Puts 800 Historic Maps Online
From the article, "In the centuries up to 1600 the contours of the British Isles were gradually revealed as successive generations of conquerors, monks, sailors, kings and nobles endeavoured to map the boundaries and resources of these islands. This fascinating process can now be explored online through digitised versions of over 800 items from the British Library's maps collection, ranging from Saxon times to the reign of James I. The maps can be viewed as part of 'The Unveiling of Britain' at: www.collectbritain.co.uk/collections/unveiling/
'The Unveiling of Britain' allows users to explore items either as large images or using a zoom facility. Each map is accompanied by detailed explanatory notes, establishing the historical context of the map?s creation, with insights into emerging technologies used in its production and the political background to what it might contain or exclude."
