(4 Sep 2022) Compiled by a research team from Yale-NUS College, the online platform has maps from three other libraries besides the Bodleian Libraries – Singapore’s National Library Board, Leiden University Libraries and Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
The research team was headed by Yale-NUS urban studies professor Jane Jacobs, who said at the platform’s launch event held virtually on Aug 30 that one of the project’s goals is to leverage digitization to make the libraries’ collections available to a range of users, such as geography and history teachers, students, scholars and amateur history enthusiasts.

The collection is openly available here.
