just in case you haven't already seen it, David Rumsey's website is the most amazing collection of historical maps. https://www.davidrumsey.com/


The Swedish government has about a million (literally!) historical maps available online, unfortunately it seems the interface is only in Swedish…

Also https://maps.nls.uk/ is a great place to explore old maps


No, I wasn't aware of that, thanks! I can really see how you can get hooked by something like this.


Superb website, very cool!
