Why is Old Maps no longer available?

Over the last 10 years Landmark has partnered with the team at Old Maps to sell our historical mapping data to consumers keen to learn about local history or purchase printed maps for personal or decorative use. Viewing and printing these maps from the Old Maps website was limited under our license agreement to non-commercial users.

Over the past 12 months, it became apparent that some of our professional services users were not clear about these restrictions and were choosing to use Old Maps as a reference tool as an alternative to accessing and purchasing historical maps under commercial license terms.

As a result we have decided to focus our efforts on clarifying and improving our historical mapping offer to the professional services market. Regrettably, this means that we are no longer able to offer consumers access to the Old Maps website.

 

Can I still purchase historical maps?

If you are a consumer looking to purchase a one-off historical map you can still do this through our Promap platform. You can sign up for a personal account with credit card details and purchase maps directly from the “reports” tab.

If you’re a professional looking for comprehensive access to historic maps for specific areas across all available dates, we’d recommend you get in touch with our team to discuss our market-leading Envirocheck product. Our unique Envirocheck Analysis tool lets you overlay multiple map layers from different eras at different opacities so you can quickly understand the changing landscape over time. Check out the demo here to try it for yourself!

 

Do you offer a subscription service for viewing historic maps?

We do not currently offer a general subscription service for viewing our historic map library, but this is an area we are hoping to make available in future. If you’d like to join the waiting list for early access to this service please drop an email to our customer service team and we will get in touch once we have further news.
