Presented by Cartography Associates, the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection focuses on rare 18th and 19th century North and South America cartographic history materials, with an inclusion of historical maps of the World, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Some of the collection categories include old and antique atlas, globe, school geography, maritime chart, state, county, city, pocket, wall, children, and manuscript maps. Internet users may search the collection by country, state, publication author, keywords, or by data field. On the whole, this site masterfully blends together powerful searching, access, and user functionality (made possible by technology) with visual beauty and the intellectual richness of original source materials.
