Note: Intute closed in July 2011. The site has now been archived and no additional resources are being added to the catalogue, nor are any changes being made to existing content. Intute is still a large and useful site and is well worth your taking the time to look through it.
(If you see any links in Intute or elsewhere that should be promoted to having their own entry in this or another Research Guide please let me know.)

A project at the University of Oregon, this site contains modern maps illustrating historical topics in American, European, Latin and African history.
