  1. Ancient World Mapping Center at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The maps may be reproduced and redistributed freely for non-profit, personal or educational use only. It is not clear whether one can post them at one's own site. They are copyright protected.
  2. Perry-Casta~neda Library Map Collection. An excellent site for public domain maps. Lots come from the CIA---and you thought they were spies: actually they make maps---this explains a lot of things I think.

Images

Some of the images are now broken links. I've come to the conclusion that without some clear statement of permission to use or of public domain status, I've no clear right to show those images. The images linked by thumbnails are legitimate to use for personal educational purposes with credit or are public domain. Credit and link to the source are given or are given by the thumbnail links.
