Worcestershire Maps

This project provides on-line access to digitised 18th and 19th century maps in the county, together with their attached documentary evidence. Together, these transform flat maps into a powerful searchable research tool.

Only a part of the capabilities of the system can be demonstrated on-line. The full system is available at the offices of the Historic Environment and Archaeology Service.

The site is under development, but the following pages provide access to an internet mapping system, through which you can view modern and historic maps, and also provides information about why the original maps were created.
