@juergen_hubert Sources (mostly) Poland-centered, but as we have significant historical overlap with Germany/Austria, I hope they'd be useful; and many are not limited to Polish (any-when) territory.

Mapy z przeszłością by Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences. The interface is in Polish, but really simple, and maps are overlayed on OSM. “Mapy austriackie” are “Austrian maps” (though there's really just one, and barely readable), and “Mapy pruskie i niemieckie” – “Prussian and German maps”.

Stare Plany Miast - Nostalgiczna Strona Internetu City maps, mostly from current or historical Polish territory (but because of the overlap, should be useful).

Old maps of Poland and Central Europe - very comprehensive archive, though not exactly convenient to use. Has English and German version, but maps titles are not translated; on the other hand, there's place name search and sheet index.

Some historical maps are also on NID (National Heritage Institute) site, NID | Portal mapowy. The map shows heritage sites, but there are historical maps layers in Zawartość mapy » Warstwy » Mapy historyczne (IH PAN). These maps come from Institute of History, so there's significant overlap with Mapy z przeszłością, I haven't cross-checked if they are fully equivalent, though.

Digital Libraries Federation is a meta-search for Polish, well, digital libraries. Searching for “map” alone yields over 71k results.

Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).

I'm Drew, pleased to meet you. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.

I post about (takes deep breath): #DogsOfMastodon #WebDev #Linux #Fedora #RaspberryPi #Apple #NoAI #FuckAI #BanAI #Enshittification #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #Stroke #PTSD #ModelRailway #NGauge #Philippines #SilentSunday #Bookstodon #Music #FarmLife #GoatsOfMastodon

Edit: Almost forgot: I have a single-page personal profile website at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.

Edit: Other things I like but probably won't post about: #OldMaps #AnimeArt #StudioGhibli
