Military Campaign Maps, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/milhome.html. Created and maintained by the Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Reviewed Aug. 1–8, 2007.
Maps and mapmaking have long been associated with a particular brand of military history. Devotees of battle and campaign history will find a valuable resource in the Library of Congress's online archive Military Campaign Maps, which presents an impressive collection of several thousand digitized military maps. Comprehensiveness is not the goal here; historians searching for a map from a particular Mexican War battle or a specific campaign in World War I will be disappointed. Rather, the archive's goal is to collect and present period maps of military sites: maps created by cartographers at the time of the conflict or shortly afterward. The Web site succeeds admirably in this goal, presenting a huge collection of documents as crisp, high-resolution images.	1
The site divides its holdings into five collections. While there are maps from as far back as the mid-eighteenth century (and even a few from the late twentieth), the bulk of the collection focuses on three conflicts: the War for Independence, the Civil War, and the European theater in World War II. The home page contains links to each of the five collections; within each collection, the site's browser allows researchers to sort the maps geographically, by title, by date, or by creator, displayed twenty at a time.	. . .
