Boston streets mapping directory data "Boston Streets combines three heavily used resources in historical research libraries; photographs, maps, and city directories. Traditional city directories have been converted from paper resources to full-text searchable digital documents. As of August 2004, historic images of Boston from both The Bostonian Society (about 3000 images) and Tufts University (400 images) were scanned for use with the Boston Streets project. Overview maps and atlases of Boston ranging from 1844 to 1950 make up the bulk of the geographic resources included in the project. Orthographic images of modern day boston, and vector data from the boston redevelopment authority and MassGIS are use to ground the Boston in its modern context. The layering of historic maps and datasets of address points collected from those maps, show visually the changes in Boston's physical landscape as time progresses." |

Japanese historical maps The Japanese Historical Map Collection contains about 2,300 early maps of Japan and the World. The collection was acquired by the University of California from the Mitsui family in 1949, and is housed on the Berkeley campus in the East Asian Library. Represented in this online collection are about 100 maps and books from this Collection. The maps were selected by Yuki Ishimatsu, Head of Japanese Collections at the East Asian Library, and scanned and put online by David Rumsey and Cartography Associates. The project was initiated by Peter Zhou, Director of the East Asian Library. Funding and project management is provided by Cartography Associates and the East Asian Library |

Japanese historical maps East Asian Library, University of California, Berkeley "Presented by the East Asian Library at Berkeley, in collaboration with David Rumsey and Cartography Associates, this Web site features 210 high-quality scanned maps from the Mitsui Library collection, which was originally purchased in 1949.... Users may elect to use the standard Insight browser provided here (which still has a zoom feature and several others), or they can elect to use a special GIS browser that overlays current geospatial data over many of the historical maps. In several different formats, the maps available online date back to the 17th century and cover virtually ever major urban area in Japan. The maps are uniquely beautiful and will be the source of great interest to anyone with an interest in cartography or Japan. [KMG]" The Scout Report, March 14, 2003, Volume 9, Number 10 |

Mappy "Scout Report, Volume 10, Number 24, June 18, 2004: "First entering the world of the Internet in 1997, the Mappy company provides a host of services and publications that offer the Europe-bound traveler a good deal of information about various destinations and, perhaps most importantly, how to get to these diverse destinations. On the homepage, visitors can find point-to-point directions from locations throughout the [European] continent and Great Britain. The site also has a mapping function for forty different countries as well. For those with a penchant for aerial photography, the site also features aerial photographs of 40 different European cities, including Bilbao, Barcelona, Reims, Brussels, and Toulouse. Visitors can also zoom in and out with each different aerial photo, or send the photograph along to a friend or to their Palm Pilot. Finally, one rather novel feature on each aerial photograph allows users to manipulate the transparency of the total image, which allows for the increased visibility of street names, traffic directions, and other landmarks." |

Tennessee Electronic Atlas The Tennessee Electronic Atlas "seeks to serve several constituencies, including students, educators, and administrators at all levels, political leaders, people involved in economic development and natural resource management, and the simply curious." The site is quite user-friendly, and the main maps contained on the site include thematic maps (at the county and state level) and interactive mapping (which contains tutorial exercises that introduce the basic concepts involved in geographic information systems). For users interested in utilizing the full capabilities of the site, the Metro Web GIS service area of the site allows users to look at the main metropolitan regions in the state, and to customize the themes (such as churches, golf courses, and hospitals) to their preferences. Another helpful feature of the Metro Web service is that as users zoom into any particular locale, the topographic maps change to aerial photograph overlays. For those seeking a wealth of information, spatial and otherwise, about the state of Tennessee, this Web site will be much appreciated.
