The National Library of Scotland has just launched a new historical mapping application that allows anyone to include selected historical geo-referenced maps of Great Britain on their own websites. Sets of Ordnance Survey maps relating to Scotland, England and Wales, dating from the 1920s to 1940s, have been seamed together and geo-referenced, then specially prepared for use in external websites.
The maps have been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence, allowing free use and adaptation of the mapping, provided it is properly attributed. We've embedded the map below; visit the link above for info on how to display, embed, or otherwise make use of these maps.
