| maps and much, much more
David Rumsey loves maps. David Rumsey has a lot of money and a lot of maps. David Rumsey likes to share. David Rumsey digitized his extensive collection and then used the Insight™ Browser and Java Client to make them available on the web. The beauty of this is that it allows you to zoom in to see the detail. And, in his maps, there is a lot of detail. The Insight™ Browser doesn't work in all browsers, including my Opera, but you can use the stand alone Insight™ Java Client if you don't want to switch browsers.
He later added a collection of Japanese maps from UC Berkeley using the same interface. The Japanese map collection is really amazing. David views these maps as works of art and they really are. But now David has expanded with a number of other collections including cartography, fine arts, architecture, and photography.
