David Rumsey Historical Map Collection: Recent Additions

Passionate about cartography and maps in general since his youth, David Rumsey has amassed an amazing collection of maps and map-related ephemera over the past several decades. The Scout Report has profiled this site a few times over the past years, and the online David Rumsey Historical Map Collection continues to grow by leaps and bounds. This new site is a perfect way to keep tabs on the latest additions to this ever-growing collection. Here visitors can look at the materials added to the site chronologically, and some of the more recent highlights include the addition of the famed Celestial Atlas from 1822 and the London Atlas of Universal Geography from 1838. And this is far from all, as visitors can also avail themselves of the New Mercantile Marine Atlas from 1922, which includes 200 marine charts (complete with shipping routes) and an early Rand McNally Road Atlas from 1927.
