“The most useful thing about Cassini’s Mapmaker service is that you can see images of the historical maps before you buy them,” says Alf Wilkinson, Historical Association Education Officer.  "Absolutely ideal for local studies. You can choose the best map for the task you have in mind! I was impressed by how sophisticated it is yet simple to use.”

"We find these historical maps fascinating. Especially when you have them side-by-side with the modern map. Even my grandchildren are interested and we have spent ages crawling around on the floor comparing the past and present of places where they live."
