A major aspect of our work has been our collaboration with such as the @britishlibrary and University of Cambridge .
We have digitised 100s of of the Basin region in the hope that we will make them available online for the public. Not only will they be scanned but they will also be for spatial analysis.

👋 - definitely interested!
Both in using and collaborating/contributing :)

Do you mean as in 'historical maps', e.g. maps from 1500?
Or as in 'maps of historical information', e.g. a map showing the regions of central europe in 1500?

(I'm interested either way)

We can (just!) fit a whole primary school class around our fabulous reproduction walk-on map of Wakefield in 1823. It’s great to be able to see what’s changed over the last 200 years and what hasn’t

One of my favourite historic maps is the 1769 map of Northumberland by Andrew Armstrong. Not as detailed as later maps, but so fascinating to explore and compare. Pic is Sheet 1 (compressed), but the whole thing can be accessed with HD zoom and download options at digitalarchive.mcmaster.ca/isl
