We have received, courtesy of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, over 70 sheets of WIG 1:100,000 map, mainly from the the east and north east of (pre-world war 2) Poland. You will find both new sheets for us, showing territory of the Soviet Union and Lithuania, and other editions of the sheets we already have. We can expect to receive, in the future, another 100 - 120 sheets of such editions, although no earlier than the first quarter of next year. In the meantime we need to go back to other maps, we should be able to add some new 1:25,000 and 1:300,000 WIG maps soon, followed by German and American maps.
Messtischblatt maps (mapster): We have added another 70 + scans, although only a few filled in "gaps" in the coverage, the rest are other editions of what is already available. We have approx. 70 more "other editions" to scan, but this will be done no earlier than the spring of next year. Around that time we will also, having added all the other overdue maps to the site, speak to the university of Torun library about scanning their collection.
