Map History/History of Cartography: The Gateway to the Subject
(Also see Images of early maps on the web.) These pages are designed for anyone, whether specialist or surfer, who wants to learn about non-current maps. If you are academic, you will find a tightly organised global overview of the subject's apparatus: the resources, activities and opportunities of a multi-disciplinary subject. Alternatively, these pages can lead you to the world of map-collecting. There are no images, but you can track them down via Internet Resources.
