Title: Link: 1886 maps of the parishes and counties in the Australian colonies

1886 maps of the counties in the Australian colonies

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that the National Library of Australia has images from each page of :

The New atlas of Australia [cartographic material] : the complete work containing over one hundred maps and full descriptive geography of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, together with numerous illustrations and copious indices / [edited by Robert McLean].

Free to search, with excellent zoom features and the maps are coloured.  The index lists all the various Parishes in each of the counties... eg  NSW starts at “part 95”.   There are 343 parts (pages). 

I am posting the thread here on the main Australian Board, hoping that Kris will leave it here for several days to alert all the usual RChatter helpers before moving it to each of the Resources Boards for each state.  (Although I did not find Western Australia, but there's so many pages, and I did skip some of them)

Here’s the link

Cheers,  JM

Hi Sarah,

Many Thanks,

I was not aware the link was failing.  Sorry.


The link for "page" 1 should be :  http://www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-raa30-s1-v  and then you can "turn the page" either by selecting the part and clicking "GO" or at the forward/back prompt arrows to the top right of ribbon panel at that link  :)  I have checked, and it is working fine for me right now.

ADD

I have just googled "The New atlas of Australia [cartographic material] : the complete work containing over one hundred maps and full descriptive geography of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, together with numerous illustrations and copious indices / [edited by Robert McLean]."



This link also gets you to the same book  :)  http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-raa30-s73 

And this link to the book is also good   :)  : http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-raa30

Many Cheers,  JM
