Historical geographic material, like maps, plans, and air photos,
although collected and persevered by libraries, archives, and other
heritage organizations, are often hidden from the general public.
They can be difficult to find, access, and use. Fortunately, these
caches of cartographic gems have been recognized and valued for
their significant contribution to research. As a result, many of
these collections have been recently digitized and made available
to the public, directly and freely, online. Acting as a
comprehensive guide to online historical, cartographic and other
visual resources, Discovering and Using Historical Geographic
Resources on the Web provides library and archival staff, and their
users, with information on how to locate, interpret, understand,
and use these resources. Even for experts, this book can serve as a
handy reference that summarizes the different types of maps
published, providing comprehensive lists of where to access them.
This book is written for all library staff members who answer
reference questions and provide library instruction, and for those
who are interested in digitizing their own cartographic
collections. It will also attract history buffs and scholars in
environmental studies, history, earth sciences, anthropology, and
more.
