    (aussi pointé par la FAQ)

    Je ne suis pas persuadé qu'il y a ouverture/recréation de nouveaux droits sur une photographie (certes de bonne qualité) d'une carte du domaine public. C'est un sujet régulièrement discuté sur le blog S.I.Lex de Calimaq/L. Maurel.

    Ceci étant c'est un sacré boulot, et il est appréciable en termes d'accès aux cartes, physiquement ou numériquement :

    « The site is free and open to the public. Here viewers have access not only to high resolution images of maps that are extensively cataloged, but also to a variety of tools that allow to users to compare, analyze, and view items in new and experimental ways. »

    « David Rumsey has donated his entire physical map colltection to Stanford University where it is housed at the David Rumsey Map Center in the Stanford Library. The Rumsey Map Center is open to the public weekdays from 1-5pm and weekday mornings by appointment. Stanford also archives all of Rumsey's digital map collection in the Stanford Digital Repository. Rumsey continues to make his collection available online at www.davidrumsey.com »
