I am thrilled to share with you that The National Library of Israel had
released a collection of 200 high-resolution unique maps[1] of
Jerusalem
in collaboration with Wikimedia Israel. This collection of ancient
maps,
spanning from 1486 to 1947, contains a variety of styles and
languages.
The
maps released were celbrarted by a Mapathon in the National Library of Israel, a writinig contest in NOWP (initiated by Wikimedia Norway)[2]
and
a post in the Wikimaps community blog[3]. The maps are beautiful! Take a peak. Happy holidays for those of you who celebrate at this time of the
year!
