This is a site for people who love Maps, London & History.

Visit the past to see where your ancestors lived.

An entirely new way of viewing and exploring old Maps and Atlases.

Not just pretty pictures or blurred copies
they are easy to use, see, navigate and search.

Every page is individually presented to view or print for your own research.

I have beautiful prints of Booth's poverty map that are bigger than my Kitchen table.
I have blurred prints of London maps that are only useful as pictures.
I have expensive reproduction books with confusing and patchy indexing.
I have CD's with maps that take so long to load I lose interest.

What I wanted was a large scale street map that displays clearly and quickly, is easy to navigate with a searchable index that is linked to the maps.

Here it is.

The entire book on one CD. See where your ancestors came from or went. 160 maps, charts and plans, 43 pages of statistics and a 15,000 place index of the World in 1898.

John Bartholomew's jingoism comes across clearly in the statistics and choice of maps in this fascinating book. The British Empire (close to its apogee) is well represented, with plans of many major cities as well as the country, continental and other maps. There are many interesting archaic spellings.

The CD is easy to use, search and see, with several methods of navigation. You can print or copy any part to use in your own research. Every page is separately presented and enhanced for clarity, without compromising the original. Instructions and help are included.
