- www.maphistory.info (this site is designed to appeal to a wide range of people from armature cartographers, professionals, collectors and those just plain intrigued by cartography. It offers comments cartography tips on researching related topics and links to sites where u can purchase maps & other fancy stuff. The site has ease of navigation, it's resource & activities center lists a bunch of categorise ranging from conferences & talks, exhibitions, fakes & forgeries to fellowships & prizes).
- www.cartographersguild.com (One of the more interesting feature of this site is the collection of fictional maps which present a glimpse into the techniques for making maps e.g copperlate in the 20th cent. use of color, clarity & wealth of detail etc. It posts a forum for discussion which seems to have some interesting topics. If you want to purchase historical, antique prints & maps, or cartography software there are quick links to get u there. There is even a link to jobs in cartography).
- www.radicalcartography.net (While the first two sites seem to have more historical content I found this site mostly has contemporary topics. The maps are oriented more towards representing socio-political and economic subject data. The categories range from histograms, infographics, time zones, scale comparison, etymology and US economic footprint).
