| The Digital Archives Association is a small group of amateurs producing high-resolution images of historical maps on CD and DVD. |

The Archive CD Books Project began in the UK in March 2000 making reproductions of old books, documents and maps available on CD to genealogists and historians while co-operating with libraries, museums and record offices by providing money
to renovate items in their collections and by donating books to their collections.
It is a more commercial site than the DAA but their aims seem really good
and they are now world-wide. |

The Charles Close Society was founded in 1980 to bring together all those
with an interest in the maps and history of the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain
and its counterparts in the island of Ireland. |

This is only a selection – use a search engine to find plenty more!
I would recommend http://www.everyclick.com/ as your search engine, as it is almost as powerful as Google. It donates money every time you use it to whatever charity you like,
and then if you do want to use Google, you can go into it through Everyclick and still donate! |
