Colleagues, My late husband, John C. Huntington, drew many original maps of Asia, including early South Asia. Most of the maps are posted on the web site for our photographic archive. The archive home page can be found at https://huntingtonarchive.org/ and the maps can be found under the Educational Resources tab. The maps are currently being proofread and updated. If you wish to use any of the maps in a publication, please let me know. We will be happy to make any corrections you might need before publication and I can provide you with the needed permission.
