Abstract:
A collection of legacy, superseded and historical Antarctic maps produced by the [Mapping and Geographic
Information Centre](https://www.bas.ac.uk/teams/magic), British Antarctic Survey, or its predecessors. This
collection does not contain all previous maps, but more will be added here over the coming months and years.
Most maps are available under an open licence, others might be restricted to BAS staff members, as detailed in
each item.
The quality and accuracy of each map is variable when compared to modern day standards. Further details can be
found in each item, within the lineage statements and printed on the map.
Purpose:
A collection of legacy, superseded and historical Antarctic maps produced by the [Mapping and Geographic
Information Centre](https://www.bas.ac.uk/teams/magic), British Antarctic Survey.
