LithuanianMaps.com

Hello/Labas! This site is the culmination of my interest in maps of the historic Lithuanian area. What hasn't existed, before this site, is a single source for:

• Information on mapmakers of the historic Lithuanian area 
• Historic Lithuanian-area map images, sorted by date, mapmaker within date
• The history that explains the shifting boundaries of Lithuania
• Sites and firms that sell historic and contemporary maps of the Lithuanian area
• Commentary on Lithuanian-area maps, and biographies of mapmakers of the historic Lithuanian area
  
• Listings of global auctions and fairs at which Lithuanian maps may be available

1613-46 - Gerritsz-Blaeu: Magnvs Dvcati Lithuaniae (AK-17)

 Totals to date:

• 739 unique map and city view images

• 254 additional detail images of those maps and city views
  

•   40 completed mapmaker biographies, many with illustrations

•   25 hotlinks to additional map resources

•     2 links to scholarly articles on Lithuanian-area maps
  

Last update: October 3, 2011.

Another day, another missed, self-imposed, deadline. I'm up to maps from 1820, and about 620 map images. I'll play it safe, and say that the new site will be done by the end of October, no later. It will be much, much better.
