- Subject coverage: maps of Great Britain
- Size/scope: access high-resolution zoomable images of over 86,000 maps of Scotland and England and Wales covering 1560 to 1961. These include zoomable colour images of the Ordnance Survey's six-inch to the mile (1:10,560)and one inch to the mile (1:63360) mapping. The easiest way of finding sheets is through a clickable graphic index using the 'Find by Place' viewer: This allows searching through a gazetteer of placenames, street names, postcodes and Grid References, as well as by zooming in on an area of interest with smaller-scale locational mapping as a backdrop.
