Historic Map Libraries on CD ROM

Now you can view historic maps on your computer screen, enlarged from the paper copies to allow for easy reading. Most have been enhanced by computer and manual editing to produce as much readable detail as possible (quality varies depending on the condition of the original). Researchers seeking old locations of towns, rivers, forts, etc. will find their work much easier.

Maps you can use! These maps may be used on web sites and publications. The only restriction is that prior permission is required if you use more than ten in any one project. All files are in .gif format for quick downloading. For Windows users, a duplicate set of files is supplied in .bmp format to allow use in software that will not allow importing of .gif files. Files are all designed to print clearly on standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper.

The Historic Map Library CDs will run on either Windows (3.1 or higher) or Macintosh (Mac II or later). A minimum of 4mb RAM is recommended. 2X or faster CD ROM drive required.

Viewing may be done with the software furnished with the CD, with any web browser or any other software that will display .gif files. An index of maps is furnished in both text and .html format. The HTML version provides links so that you may quickly access the images on your web browser.

These libraries are being made available at the limited-time price of $29.95. The regular price is $39.95.
