[ISHMap-List] Online Exhibition of Early Atlases

[Matthew Edney]

Dear All:

http://uobatlases.net

For those interested in early atlases, I recommend this site: two libraries at the University of Bristol -- special collections and geographical sciences -- have completely imaged a number of atlases and arranged them in four categories, with interesting commentary:

• Renaissance Theatres
• The Rhetoric of Truth
• The Colonial Gaze
• National Identities and Conflict

Go and enjoy!

Matthew
