We would like to wish you all quiet and peaceful Christmas (and
let's hope the new year is no worse than 2021 ;) There are a few
presents on account of this; several town plans from the collection of
digital arm of the National Library of Poland:
Chełm, Dąbrowa Górnicza, Cieplice-Śląskie Zdrój (Bad Warmbrunn),
Tarnowskie Góry (Tarnowitz), Gdańsk (Danzig) (and... one more Gdańsk), Malbork (Marienburg), Gorzów Wielkopolski (Landsberg a.d. Warthe),
Nowy Sącz, Kraków, Głębokie (Глыбокае), Świnoujście (Swinemünde) and
four sheets of БрÑÑÑ‚ (Brześć, Brest-Litovsk).
We will, gradually make available all other plans form the polona
project. It will take time as each plan has to be processed and
metadata, even basic, manually entered. There are a good few thousands
of such plans so... please bear with us. In the meantime, we are
updating some index sheets to add those odd sheets that have, until
know, spilled over index sheet edge.
And, for now at least, just one map from a set of documents,
which comes from Peter Clark and which we plan to make available in
full early next year. And a passing comment: 77 years have passed since
its publication yet it appears that, suddenly, the map is becoming very
relevant to the current political developments...
