    1. Re: [KYMONTGO-L] Montgomery county map
    2. Hi Pat, I found them! Here's how folks can view the maps: The URL that goes directly to the "Montgomery County KY" album is: http://community.webshots.com/album/264617304RUAXFQ You can click on each picture to enlarge them. To enlarge them even more, look right under it and click on the link that says "View Full Size." If folks would like to download the pictures of the maps to their computer, they would need to first download and install webshots' free software. It is very easy to do. The website walks you through each step. Thanks for putting these out there for everyone, Pat! :-) Gail (Rose) Berish In a message dated 2/14/2005 8:02:29 PM Eastern Standard Time, pshobson@fuse.net writes: Hello, I am experimenting with trying to photograph or scan the Montgomery county map & post it online so everyone could check out names & places. However, I am technology-impaired. I have a great scanner & a decent digital camera, but I'm having trouble--- 1. Trying to divide the map into recognizeable sections and 2. Finding someplace to park the pictures online so folks can find them. At the moment, I have a few samples on my webshots.com page, but that isn't particularly easy to get to. (For example, for some reason not even I could get to it when I tried their general search engine). Any ideas on how to resolve any of these problems? Thanks for any suggestions, Pat H.

    1. Thanks for map advice!

    3. Gail, Thanks for finding the link! (I really am technologically-challenged). And Bob in Indy-- I considered the copywrite issue. I'm not sure who owned the copy of the map that was "redone" for the Montgomery County Bicentennial, but the bottom says it was "Republished," not copywrited or copywrite renewed. I assume that since the map has no copywrite marking anywhere (and since it is an 1879 creation) that it's in public domain. If I'm wrong, I'll remove it immediately. Now I'll try to get back to issues of scanning it so that it's both legible and understandable.
