The Michigan State University Map Library website is a real find for anyone with the slightest interest in maps or mapmaking. On their homepage, visitors will find a selection of "Quick Links", which includes links to scanned maps, printable maps, and a feedback form. The scanned maps area is quite diverse, and it features over 50 maps. Some of these maps include 1873 maps of the state's Lower and Upper Peninsula and a healthy selection of maps of Africa from 1866 to 1923. The librarians have also created several "Features", including "Footpaths to Freeways: The Evolution of Michigan Roadmaps". Also, the Map Library Blog is a great way to keep abreast of different additions to their website as well as their physical collection in East Lansing.
