1878 Panoramic View of Charlottetown

Thanks to the efforts of Charlottetown's own Peter Rukavina, we now have a zoomable version of the 1878 Panoramic View of Charlottetown, which is available anywhere that there is a net connection.

Sometimes known as the Birds Eye View, the map is a constant reference for many of us. I keep a framed copy of the map next to my desk that had been reproduced in 1983 by the PEI Museum & Heritage Foundation, and am now pleased to know that I can blow it up at the click of a mouse button.

Kudos to Peter for making this happen - it is a wonderful contribution to the growing historical resources related to Prince Edward Island.
