On May 13, a fire destroyed the faculty building at the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands; the fire was feared to have destroyed the faculty library’s holdings, including a significant map room, which was on the main floor. Fortunately, it appears that most of the collection has survived intact. Links are in Dutch; I had to resort to online translation tools. Via MapHist.
The Map Room is a blog about maps by Jonathan Crowe. It covers everything from collecting to the latest in geospatial technology from a generalist’s perspective.
The Map Room ran from March 2003 to June 2010 and is presently inactive.
