Hello All. I am writing to introduce a free map website displaying high quality scans of rare 19th century maps of Australia. The site is: MAPCO : Map And Plan Collection Online http://archivemaps.com The 9 Australian items currently displayed are at: Australian State and City Maps http://archivemaps.com/mapco/aust.htm Wyld's map of Australia c1858 will be of great interest to researchers, and the 1830s plans of Adelaide will be of particular interest to South Australian researchers. Early maps of Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong, and various 19th century maps of Australia will be added in the near future. Some of these maps can be previewed on the Australian Maps page. MAPCO's aim is to provide genealogists, students and historians with free access to high quality scans of rare and beautiful antique maps and views. The site displays collectable 18th, 19th and early 20th century maps and plans, with an emphasis on early maps of Australia, London, and the British Isles. There are currently 9 high quality Australian items on display, along with 19 maps of London, plus several highly detailed maps of England, Scotland, and several English counties. The site will eventually display over 100 high quality maps, plans, and views. These maps are a wonderful resource for family history research. MAPCO is a free access website, and will remain so. I do hope that you find the site interesting and useful. Enjoy these beautiful maps! Kind regards, David Hale, Adelaide, South Australia. MAPCO : Map And Plan Collection Online http://archivemaps.com
