Free Antique Maps

Twenty restored antique maps you can download free at screen resolution (1500 px) — for lessons, school projects, articles, blog posts, presentations and family history. No sign-up, no e-mail.

Free for personal, educational, editorial and non-commercial use. All we ask is a credit with a link — the button under each map copies it for you. The originals are in the public domain; each scan comes from the library or museum named under the map.
