Antique Maps
I love browsing historical and antique map collections… here’s one you may enjoy as well. Created by the Special Collections Department at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library, this fine collection of digitized antique maps will pique the interest of geographers and historians alike. The collection contains over 230 maps, charts, pictures, books, and complete atlases produced by European cartographers from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The collection serves as an interesting record of the cross-cultural exchanges between China and the West, and visitors can sort the list of maps by title, mapmaker, or year.
