I'm catching up on a few old posts. I have an idea -- I'll be getting a couple
of old map scans from Etienne, which I plan to upload to my freepages space,
and then post the links on an /alsace/maps page. Do any of you have any links
to great maps like these to the Alsace, or any parts of it? Scans of old maps
are cool too, if you are willing to have them posted. If you have actual
scans to send, please send them to valorie dot zimmerman at gmail dot com
(replace "dot" with ., and "at" with @ to make a workable address).

The more information about it (area covered, time period) the better.
