Hi Everyone,

This website came through on an Earthlink bulletin. Thought it might help
all of us.

http://www.davidrumsey.com/
David Rumsey, a private collector of old and antique maps,
created this site to share his cartographic passion with the
world. Visitors can browse nearly 6,500 high-resolution maps
covering 18th- and 19th-century North and South America as
well as other regions of the world. The site just introduced
a new feature allowing visitors to overlay old maps onto
present-day maps to reveal changes in various regions over
time. (Note: Dial-up users will need to be patient as
loading times can be long, and the site may prompt you to
download extra software.)
