my links

Here are the three links that I have chosen. I hope no one else has these on their pages.

This one is the Library of Congress' Map Reading Room it is pretty cool to see the collection of digital and historical paper maps that they have. The site also has educational items such as the illustrated guide to maps and geography.

This next link is a hisory of mapping from the British Library. If you follow the links within the web page, you will learn a lot about the use of maps for wars, how maps "lie" and it has a cool Chinese Globe from 1623.

The third link is from an antique map seller called The Old Map Gallery located in Denver, Colorado. It may not be as educational as the other two links, but I like looking at old maps and thought this site was more fun than the other two.....enjoy! This site really showcases the point that Cartography is half ART..some of these old maps are really interesting and creative.

Hope you all enjoy my post...I look forward to seeing what other people have on their blogs.
