(*****) Many detailed maps, drawn especially for display on the Internet.
(****) Many detailed maps, apparently scanned from printed sources.
(***) Intermediate number of maps -- say, 4 to 15.
(**) Single map, very detailed. Maybe two or three.
(*) Single map, basic information. May be useful for homework assignments.
(@) Animated maps.
(#) Above-average interactivity.
NOTE: I'm not judging the quality of these maps, only the quantity. I'm trying to assess the amount of work that went into them and the amount of information you're likely to get back. And I'm only assessing the maps themselves, not the non-cartographic information accompanying them on the site. (A one-star map could easily illustrate a five-star essay.)
Also, my primary purpose here is to locate and link to historical maps (those which illustrate history) rather than antique maps (those which originated long ago) -- although there is quite a bit of overlap.
MIA: If a link is tagged with a red MIA, it means that the last time I checked, it had disappeared. Even so, I don't want to be too hasty in weeding dead links, so I'll just wait awhile and hope that it's just a temporary glich which will be fixed in a jiffy.
