Online Historical Map Exhibits from the Smith Centre for Cartographic Education. Nice
collection - take a look at the Columbus Letter, Portuguese America and the
exhibit on diasporas.
cool site. thanks plep! i have some colleagues who are very interested in the development of old maps, reading detail over a concurrent reading of the expansion of the global political economy. mapmaking was/is doubtlessly an extraordiarily important aspect of incorporation.

Actually, here's a Java Astrolabe that "displays modern versions of four types of medieval astrolabe". Kind of fun, in a mappy sort of way
