Dear Michael,
Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely add your blog as a resource.
While the app will primarily have historic resources, the blog will contain
information
on antiquarian maps and current methods in mapping research. I think you'll
enjoy both.
Fingers crossed that Apple doesn't turn me down!
Maps really pop on the iPad.
Best,
Heather

Heather,
Congratulations on your worthy project! I love forward to downloading
it on my iPad. Please let this list server know when it becomes
available.
I'm not sure if this is of interest, but any of my historical maps are
available for your project. My passion is collecting old maps of solar
eclipses. You can find a substantial collection of maps that are
either directly from my collection, other collections, or the public
domain on the internet.
You may find my historical solar eclipse maps at

best, Michael Zeiler
