"I was going through the digital catalogue of the map collection and was impressed about the richness and variety of the collection.
It was very useful to have in the most cases also the image of the map at hand.
Congratulations that you are already so far with the better accessibility of the collection.
In my opinion you are one of the forerunners in Europe on this field!"
