Would you like to help?
Anything you can tell me that will improve the quality of the information on the site will be gratefully received. Just send me what you think might be useful.
Alternatively, consider becoming one of the regular collaborators.
Select the geographical area or subject theme that most interests you from the following pages (but please do not feel restricted to those two sections):
I can supply a full, searchable listing of the 7,000 or so links already on the site, showing which 'Map History' page contains the link in question. This is the quickest way to see if a link is already present.
Please do not worry about writing a full description of a new site. The important thing is to let me have the URL. However, if you can supply descriptive notes, that would be very helpful. Notes will be especially valuable for non-English language sites. If there is an English version of a page, please give me that.
You might like to check out the major libraries, museums, etc. in your country to see if they have put images of their maps, or a listing of their map collection, onto the web.
Searching via Google (and other engines) for your particular area of interest or map theme will probably find sites I do not list. Any searching I do has to be very general (e.g. 'history of cartography'). Try looking for 'map' and the name of your area, or 'map', 'map history', 'history of cartography', etc., in your own language.
You may find other relevant and interesting pages when looking at a site that I already list. There may well be significant and distinctive subsidiary pages that I had missed (or that were created after my visit) which deserve to be mentioned separately.
If you decide to become a collaborator, I hope you will be able to check 'your' area at least every few months to see what has changed or been added.
