Hello All. I have just uploaded the huge 1801 map of Kent, being the first ever published Ordnance Survey map. It is a beautiful and highly detailed map. Take a look at: An Entirely New & Accurate Survey Of The County Of Kent, With Part Of The County Of Essex, by William Mudge, 1801. http://archivemaps.com/mapco/kent1801/kent1801.htm I hope that you find this map of interest and use. Enjoy this beautiful map! In coming weeks I will be displaying 2 maps of London, being: 1775 - Carington Bowles Bowles's Reduced New Pocket Plan Of The Cities Of London And Westminster With The Borough Of Southwark, Exhibiting The New Buildings To The Year 1775. Preview image on the 'News' page: http://archivemaps.com/mapco/news.htm 1814 - William Darton A New and Correct Plan of London and Westminster with the latest Improvements. Preview image here: http://archivemaps.com/mapco/preview/1814darton.htm ** Volunteers Wanted - Request For Assistance with 1801 Map of Kent ** To enable me to continue scanning maps for display I would like to ask for assistance with transcribing the place names on the 1801 Map of Kent, enabling me to display it in a useful way for users. If there are any listers who can spare some time to assist with this final part of the Kent map project it would be greatly appreciated. This will free my time to get on with the job of scanning and preparing the next maps. A transcribed section will look like this (being the Maidstone section first previewed): http://archivemaps.com/mapco/kent1801/kent16_01.htm Ideally I would like assistants to transcribe 3 images as displayed on the site, equating to one section of the actual map. I estimate this will take 30-60 minutes on average. I will give full details to any volunteers in a separate email. Please send all replies to this request off list. Thanks. All offers of assistance will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance. While I appreciate this particular subject isn't genealogy in the first instance, it benefits all of our research in the long run. I am still committed to displaying a high quality map of London for every decade from 1700 to 1930, and to continuing to display as many county maps (Middlesex, Essex, Surrey & Kent) as possible. Future projects include 19th century Ordnance Survey maps and Rocque's 1746 "An Exact Survey of the City's of London, Westminster, Southwark and the Country of 10 miles round Begun in 1741 and Ended in 1745" (Scale 5.5":1 Mile). Thank you all for your continuing support for the MAPCO project. It is, and shall remain, FREE! Kind regards, David Hale, Adelaide, South Australia.
