Using the tool people convey been digitally aligning the library's historical map collection together with hence that the maps tin hold out overlaid on modern interactive maps. The lawsuit is that yous tin at in i lawsuit browse over 10,000 historical maps on the Map Warper website.
CartoDB this calendar week noticed that yous tin also purpose the map tiles from whatever of the over 10,000 historical maps inwards your ain interactive maps. They convey fifty-fifty posted a smashing tutorial, Using NYPL Map Warper maps within CartoDB, explaining the uncomplicated procedure of adding the map tiles from i of the New York Public Library maps to your ain CartoDB map.
Of course of report yous tin also purpose the Map Warper map tiles amongst other mapping platforms. If yous follow the CartoDB tutorial, peculiarly the Federal Reserve notation on tweaking the NYPL Map Warper URL for the map tiles, yous should hold out able to easily move out how yous tin add together a NYPL historical map to a Leaflet, Mapbox or Google Maps API map.
