What does Historic Digimap provide?
The service provides the following: • An easy to use interface to allow you to browse, view and print historic maps. • Contemporary and historic search tools. For example, you could search for a location using contemporary postcodes, place names and National Grid References, or historic parish and county names and latitude and longitude. • A facility for directly comparing two or four maps from different times but of the same location. As you pan and zoom one map, the others will follow. This allows comparisons of changes through time. If you have access to both the historic maps and contemporary OS maps through Digimap, then you will be able to directly compare contemporary Land-Line.Plus and historic maps. • The ability to preview full map sheets [using the Preview Full Map Sheet tool button]. • A simple data download facility so that the maps you are viewing can be downloaded to your computer for use in a Geographic Information System (GIS) or image processing software.
