| Within hardly two years the initiatives and projects in the field of Digital Map Libraries (DML) have greatly increased. The aim is to uncover old maps through the access to geoportals distributed to the cartographic collections of different libraries and archives, keeping the geographic component as a common link. The remote access capability to resources through optimized searches has had a great repercussion both on researchers and the academic world. In addition, a new type of work comes up for the map librarians, based on the online cataloguing and geo-referencing. It is also worthwhile to highlight the impact of these services on the collection safety, preventing manipulations, damage, deterioration and thefts from happening. This paper describes the state-of-the-art DML initiatives carried out until now, emphasizing their technological evolution within the new institutional framework. From the results obtained, a new generation of Virtual Map Rooms is presented for the integrated access to the Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) thanks to the design of new crosswalks between geographic and bibliographic metadata profiles. Moreover, new analytic and online geo-processing tools will be developed, thereby supplementing the present-day digital access to the entire cartographic heritage with a new query and work virtual space | |
