15. Charting America: Maps from the Lawrence H. Slaughter Collection and
Others
http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/explore/dgexplore.cfm?topic=history&col_id=149

In 1997, the New York Public Library received a very impressive map
collection from the estate of the late Lawrence H. Slaughter. Four years
later, the remainder of his collection was also given to the Library's Map
Division. It is certainly a tremendous offering, and these maps are offered
as part of the New York Public Library's Digital Gallery site. Visitors to
the site can look over 1000 maps of North America that date from the 16th
century all the way up to the waning years of the 19th century. Users are
free to select from sections that include maps of North America, New York
City, Virginia, and diverse others. A few of the gems offered here include
an early map of the plan for Washington, D.C. and a chart of the West Indies
from 1702. [KMG]
