Dear All:
Richard Talbert has prepared an online exhibition for Princeton University Libraries:
Late Ottoman Turkey in Princeton's Forgotten Maps, 1883-1923
I have just uploaded the full dataset of shape files on transportation in Shanghai before 1949. This includes tramway (1903, 1908, 1936, 1947), autobus (1936, 1947), and trolleybus (1936, 1947), with their respective stations. The dataset includes both individual shape files for each line in each type of network and for the stations.
Tremendously useful! Hope the cadastral maps are next? With many thanks, Katya Knyazeva
Many thanks, Christian! Data like these are invaluable, it is quite clear how much work you spent on this and I guess not only I appreciate very much that you are willing to share your results for the common benefit.
