The Map Curators' Toolbox
This is a collection of resources and links for anyone who is working with a map collection. It may be particularly useful if you are new to maps, or deal with them only occasionally as part of a larger collection. It was compiled by the Map Curators’ Group, one of the British Cartographic Society’s special interest groups.
