Below we present a resource of historical maps developed on the basis of the project “Historical Atlas of Poland. Polish lands of the Crown in the second half of the sixteenth century<\/a>” (AHP) carried out at the Department of Historical Atlas of the Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences<\/a> in the years 1964-2021. The most important is a map of the Polish Crown with a scale of 1:250,000: it shows almost 25,000 settlements along with their type, function, size and ownership, administrative boundaries, most important roads, and forests and hydrography. In addition, a map with a scale of 1:1,000,000 has been elaborated, which shows settlements and territorial divisions in a synthetic way, as well as 1:500,000 maps for individual palatinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to historical maps, we also provide old maps that are part of the ‘Maps with the Past’ application (https:\/\/atlasfontium.pl\/language\/en\/maps-of-the-past\/<\/a>) linking to individual sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plans to develop historical and old maps collections and publish them online for both specialists (historians, geographers) and general public interested in geohistory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maps are in Polish language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n published: 09.12.2022
