From
our US friends from the easteurotopo.org
project, and courtesy of the Library of Congress, we have received
approx. 140 sheets of the Russian (and
Soviet) 3-verst maps (1:126 000), approx. 250 sheets of the German,
WW1 variant, and and a few sheets of this map type
published in 1920 and
1921 by WIG, at that time under the name of
Instytut
Wojskowo-Geograficzny (Military-Geographic Institute).All variants
(Russian / Soviet, German, Polish and Austro-Hungarian), are available
through the map index sheet, and through the Mapster place-name search engine.
We
have also added about 55 sheets of the post-WW2, 1:50,000 map by the US
Army Map Service. Maps are dated 1950s - 1980s and the new sheets cover
Western Poland.
One sheet from the East Prussia / Ostpreussen
(currently Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation),
several sheets from Czechoslovakia,
and two sheets from Hungary
(really, that's all we have at the moment!). Unfortunately most of the
scans suffers from imperfect scanner callibration. The issue can be
seen when the scan is at its 100% magnification, along one of the
margins. Files with such errors are marked appropriately, i.e.
"...err.jpg".
If at all possible, at some point we will try to re-scan these sheets
or obtain the scans from other sources.
