This 1857 Sprague/Dripps map is just a thing of beauty. Just a little tiny detail here.
What are future generations going to use for history when everything has been recorded digitally, and there are no physical sources? -

Thank you Jitka Močičková and Eva Chodějovská for the wonderful organisation!

Looking for old maps of the L.A. area?The L.A. County DPW has some great "Wall Sheets" that can lead you to other older surveys and maps. If nothing else, these Wall Sheets are an incredible snapshot of L.A. in the early 60s.

@juergen_hubert Sources (mostly) Poland-centered, but as we have significant historical overlap with Germany/Austria, I hope they'd be useful; and many are not limited to Polish (any-when) territory.
Mapy z przeszłością by Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences. The interface is in Polish, but really simple, and maps are overlayed on OSM. “Mapy austriackie” are “Austrian maps” (though there's really just one, and barely readable), and “Mapy pruskie i niemieckie” – “Prussian and German maps”.
Stare Plany Miast - Nostalgiczna Strona Internetu City maps, mostly from current or historical Polish territory (but because of the overlap, should be useful).
Old maps of Poland and Central Europe - very comprehensive archive, though not exactly convenient to use. Has English and German version, but maps titles are not translated; on the other hand, there's place name search and sheet index.
Some historical maps are also on NID (National Heritage Institute) site, NID | Portal mapowy. The map shows heritage sites, but there are historical maps layers in Zawartość mapy » Warstwy » Mapy historyczne (IH PAN). These maps come from Institute of History, so there's significant overlap with Mapy z przeszłością, I haven't cross-checked if they are fully equivalent, though.
Digital Libraries Federation is a meta-search for Polish, well, digital libraries. Searching for “map” alone yields over 71k results.

Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!
I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.
But I'm running out of maps!
If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!
I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!#maps #cartography #librariansofmastodon #oldMaps #archivistodon
