New Maps Site at BPL

The Boston Public Library has unveiled a new website for the Norman P. Leventhal Map Center, maps.bpl.org. The site allows searching of the Library's collections (which contain more than 200,000 maps and 5,000 atlases), and also will feature online exhibits and other spotlights, including "Maps in the News" and a "Map of the Month". The site has already gotten some rave reviews from map specialists, so stop by and check it out.
