• 64 sheets of the WIG 1:300 000 "operational map". Some of the new scans replace those previously scanned at lower resolution (300 dpi), others are new editions of the sheets already available, and some are of completely new areas,

• 16 Polish and 4 German copies of 1:25,000 W.IG. "detailed map", including one covering Janowa Dolina.

• 7 sheets of the older W.I.G. 1:25,000 maps, from mid-1920s, including six, very rare sheets from the "Rejon Bydgoszcz” and one (last missing sheet) from the Rejon Brześć.

Over 70 new Russian and Soviet maps have been added from the map collection of Geography Department of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. There are some 40 sheets of the one-verst map (1:42,000) and several sheets of the two-verst map (1:84,000), as well as several sheets of the Soviet 1:25,000 map. Please note that while the dating is accurate, it refers to the date of print, but the map can display information and situation several dozens years prior to that date! This refers, in particular, to the one-verst sheets covering the (then) Polish eastern borderlands (Kresy), which  are based on Tsarist survey data, Polish 1:100,000 maps by W.I.G. and intelligence reports, rather than, for obvious reasons, the latest field survey information.

Courtesy of the Geography Department of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin we have been able to fill in some gaps in the map coverage:
- approx. 70 sheets of the German 1:300,000 map (Übersichtskarte von Mitteleuropa) covering the area from France to Kazakhstan.
- several sheets of the German 1:800,000 map and Austro-Hungarian 1:750,000 map
- a few maps from a very rare German series "Deutsche Karte", in 1:50,000 scale: 3 small sheets from 1920s and 5 large-format sheets from 1938.

From the collection of the Library of Congress: a few sheets of a very rare Austro-Hungarian 1:25,000 maps covering extensive fortifications of Brest-Litowsk and surrounding area, and one sheet from a similar series covering the fortifications of Luck, Dubno and Rowno. As the set is currenctly incomplete, we will attempt to acquire the reminder from Austrian sources.

From the collection of a digital library of the University of Wroclaw, Poland some 450 shets of a German 1:25,000 map (Messtischblatt) covering Śląsk (see sheets on list beginning with No 3957 Rädnitz).

A few years ago, courtesy of the Library of the Brigham Young University, Utah, we were able to add several hundred post-WW2 American copies of German Messtischblatt sheets covering East Prussia and, generally, western Poland. We have finally made use of the other, substantial part of the collection. It consists of American, British and French editions of the 1:25,000 map from the territory of present-day Germany. All in all 2550 some 2550 sheets (400 dpi) and some 50 more sheets from our collection (600 dpi).

Other new maps:
- some 100 sheets of the Czechoslovak 1:200,000 map, dated 1919 - 1939
- over 50 German 1:100,000 maps (Karte des deutschen Reiches) dated 1920 - 1942
- an interesting map dated approx. 1941 - 1942, with a rather self-explanatory title: "Kreuzung der Autobahnen Breslau – Moskau und Danzig bei Litzmannstadt”

Further updates can be expected - next year.

We have added some 240 sheets of American map "Poland 1:25,000” dated approx. 1953 - 1956 (newly added sheets can be found on the map list). The maps are copies of a German  "Topograpische Karte” (Messtischblatt) dated 1940 - 1944. The originals were a mixture of contents - German survey updates conductd during WW2, pre-war Polish maps, still earlier German 1:25,000 maps (Westl. Osteuropa) from WW1 which, in turn, were based on Russian maps (half-, one-, and two-verst). The eastern coverage of the AMS map series can be found on the two index sheets: Part 1 i Part 2.
With the new maps we have separated the AMS variants which are now available through their own index sheet, combined: AMS M851 Poland, M852 East Prussia and M841 Germany (east).

A few dozen new town plans from Mr Hubisz' collection have been added. Also, courtesy of the Library of Congress, we have received three, very rare, German town plans dated 1939, of  Poznań, Wilno and Grodno. They are the last three of the town plans included in the "Military-geographic description of Poland" (Militärgeographische Beschreibung von Polen) - a set of materials prepared in July 1939 for the upcoming invasion of Poland (Fall Weiss).

There are other new materials, majority a small-scale Allied (British and American) maps from the Mideaterrenian, Caucaus and Middle East, small-scale German maps (predominantly from Easter Europe), some German railway maps and diagrams, and a joint sheet of Hungarian 1:1 M map dated 1942. Amongst new maps, there is a British sheet dated 1951, related to "Excercie Cassius", covering the area of Central-Western Europe (including the western part of Poland), and another one from the same times, showing AA and radar sites around the area of Leningrad.
Another interesting map is a two-sheet set of 1:25,000 Polish maps covering Lwow and the surrounding area, probably dated from 1919, the time of Polish - Ukrainian fighting for the city. polskiej mapy topograficznej, wydanych przez Oddział Kartograficzny Naczelnego Dowództwa W.P.  opartej na wydaniach austriackich, prawdopodobnie z okresu polsko-ukraińskich walk o Lwów w 1919 roku, oraz ukraińska mapa małoskalowa (Mapa Fizyczna Ukrainy i ziem sąsiednich), wydana w 1939 r. we Lwowie.
We have also come across a two-sheet set of a French map, or diagram from 1941, with the demarkation line between the German-occupied northern France and the southern part under the Vichy government.

There are some more maps covering out-of-the-usual (for us) areas: 95 joint and 2 single sheets of a German 1:100,000 map of Italy (1943 / 1944), as well as 8 sheets of the same edition with fortifications overprints, so called "Befestigungskarten. We should be able to add, probably in 2015, other maps of Italy, both original, as well as British, Polish and American variants from WW2 (and slightly beyond). As no proper index sheets for the new maps have been added yet, each list of maps above comes with an original, German index sheet (or two) at the very bottom of the list. For the single-sheet edition, you can access it here (Link) and for the joint edition, here (Link No 1) and here (Link No 2). Please note that Link the file for Link No 2 is larger (10 MB) and will take longer to download or display in the browser). Unfortunately we do not have an original index sheet for the fortification variant of this map, but at least two sheets show min-index sheets diplayed on their margins.

Some time ago we scanned and made available a set of German 1:150,000 maps showing the districts of East Prussia around 1830 - 1840. Since the maps look rather attractive, we have scanned them again, this time, at higher resolution (600 dpi) and with much better scanner. All the files have been updated and can be downloaded from the link above.

And, to sum it up, a peculiar Polish propaganda postcard dated 1939.

We have added 72 sheets of a Map of German Railways (Eisenbahnkarte Deutschlands) dated 1937 – 1944. The maps (more diagrams), cover Germany, Austria, and some parts of Lithuania Poland and Czechoslovakia. The set is not complet, but we will try to locate and scan missing sheets. As the maps don't come with any grid lines, it will be harder to create proper index sheets, hence they are available, temporarily, as a list.

Additionally, 34 sheets of the British copy of the same map, dated 1944 / 1945 roku (German Railways) have been made available - they cover western Germany up to Berlin and Austria.
 
From a different source altogether (digital library of PAN), we have obtained a general (Map of German railways (Eisenbahnkarte Deutschlands) scale 1:1125,000., related to the above series.

And from the Library of Congress, courtesy of easteurotopo.org, we have received 12 sheets of a Russian "Map of European Russia and Caucasus”, scale 1:680,000, dated approx. 1870.

Approximately 150 town plans have been added, most of them from Central and Eastern Europe, but quite a few from other areas, e.g. the Balkans, UK, France, Germany and Italy.

As usual, new scans have been highted in the lists

• Central Europe
• The Balkans
• Russia (European part)
• Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan
• Germany
• Others (British Isle, Scandinavia, Iberian Peninsula, etc.)

Some higlights: detailed plans of Gibraltar, several German war-time plans of British towns, detailed German plans of several towns in Pommern (north-western Poland), and a copy, rather ugly, of a German town plan of Marienbad - famous Czech resort of Mariánské Lázne - it appears the copy was in use by some US troops (3rd Army?) which reachead the western part of Czechoslovakia in April / May 1945.
We have also added two "zone maps" of Hanover and Dresden, which were prepared for the carpet bombing raids in 1944 / 1945.

New maps:
- some 20 – 30 sheets of WIG 1:25,000 map, both Polish pre-war and German war-time variants. Resolution and quality not that great but will need to do until we source original maps from another location.
- 12 sheets of the older WIG 1:25,000 editions from south-east Poland (Bieszczady). These maps are reprints of earlier, Austro-Hungarian 1:25,000 maps.

Up to 50 sheets of Russian 3-verst map (1:126,000) have been added, courtesy of the digital library of the Jagiellonian University, Krakow, and the Library of Congress. Also, after some painstaking effort, it hs been possible to make those maps, as well as the WW1 German variants, available through index sheets; consequently, these maps are now easily available through Mapster place-name search engine.
Several other index sheets have been created, including a mid-19th century Polish "Mapa Kwatermistrzostwa” (1:126,000) from the digital archive of the National Library, Warsaw.

Problems with Mapster index sheets have now been fixed.
We have added up to 50 sheets of the Austrian (KuK) "Operationskarte" 1:400,000. The 300 dpi sheets come from a digital library of the Polish Academy of Science, those at 400 dpi are from private collectors and, through help of  easteurotopo.org site, from the Library of Congress.
We have also added a few town plans: Köslin (Koszalin), Belgard (Bialogard), Sopot – all in the Pomorze (Pommern) area of Poland, Kostrzyn (Küstrin), and Klaipeda (Memel). More (many more) town plans will be made available after summer.
