Description
There are thousands of historical scanned maps in the Scholars GeoPortal available for open reuse. The 1:63,360 and 1:25,000 scale topographic maps were the first historical series to be inventoried and georeferenced by the Ontario academic library community for open access in 2017. Now we've added maps covering all of Ontario at the 1:50,000 scale, representing a rich set of historical topographic data to be used for all sorts of historical and longitudinal research. Join me for a demonstration of how to find, access, preview, and reuse these amazing historical maps in the GeoPortal!
