Historical Maps

In my free time, I enjoy collecting, georeferencing, and digitizing historical maps of cities. The latter two can prove to be a challenge, as these maps tend to lack necessary information or accuracy to easily convert. On this page you will find various maps around the world in digitized form, as well as documentation how they are being digitized. Though all the downloadable content so far are my sole creation, I welcome feedback and contribution!
