What the site is ABOUT

WHAT'S NEW

• Historical maps, i.e. modern reconstructions of past situations - but see Related Subjects: Historical Maps
• Information and links, however interesting, that deal with other subjects - but see Related Subjects and Special Topics with Relevance to Early Maps
• Very brief texts (usually less than two screens), superficial or inaccurate information, and obvious propaganda - none of which seems worth the user's time
• Image sites that contain less than four maps, unless they are special in some way, e.g. a wall-map
• The wilder shores of fantasy, particularly sites associated with Piri Reis
• Highly commercial sites
• Sites created by and for their designer, often using Flash, and sometimes making a PR statement on behalf of a government department. However, if there is useful buried information a link will be provided, normally with a health warning
• Links proposed on the basis of reciprocity or even with the carrot of supposed income. No money is made from this site and many suggested links are ignored. What is included is there because of merit and relevance
