Website designed and prepared by Matthew H. Edney, Faculty Scholar, Osher Map Library. Ms. Stephanie Abbot Roper was of great help in clarifying the political aspects of the map.

Dr. Ronald Grim, Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress, Dr. Andrew Cook, Oriental and India Office Collections, British Library, and Mr. Edward Dahl, Early Map Specialist, National Archives of Canada were of great assistance in liberally sharing their knowledge of the "Red Line Map," its copies, and War Office draftsmen. Ms. Wendy Raver, New York Historical Society, kindly interrogated John Jay's map over the telephone at very short notice.

General assistance provided by Dr. Harold L. Osher; Yolanda I. Theunissen, Curator and Head of Cartographic Collections; and Christi A. Mitchell, Cartographic Associate, Osher Map Library. Abraham Schechter, photographic conservator, Portland Photographics, took the photographs from which most of the imagery was scanned.

Some imagery is provided courtesy of Skinners, Auctioneers and Appraisers of Antiques and Fine Art, Boston and Bolton, Massachusetts. For more information call (508) 779-6241 x 228.
