    3. For the benefit of new listers - YourMapsOnline is a free resource for historians, with over 150 old maps online - downloadable - for use in your research. All the maps are scanned from originals and shared online by the owners of these maps - they are *your* maps! If you have any suitable old maps and would like to share a scan with fellow researchers, then I would be happy to put them on the website. Just email me off-list. This is how the site started back in March 2003 - with over 50,000 hits since then - so I must be doing something right. Remember - they are *free* to download, for personal research purposes - please don't abuse the generosity of others. A full Atlas of John Cary County maps from 1797 - to buy this atlas today would cost in excess of £2000 - if you can find one! Town plan maps, Strip Road maps, Lewis, Bartholomew, Fullerton etc.. - a maps library online! There are also an invaluable number of maps-Links to further your research. http://www.yourmapsonline.org.uk David Ford. ---------------- Old Maps & Etchings Online - A free resource for researchers. http://www.yourmapsonline.org.uk The YourMapsOnline CD-Rom now available! 150+ Scanned Images on CD-Rom - Your own Maps Library!. http://www.youroldbooksandmaps.co.uk A selection of Historical Books & Atlases on CD-Rom.
