Abstract
This paper describes and explains a set of open-source viewers and tools which can be used to deliver maps in an online environment. It is based on the current web-mapping technologies used by the National Library of Scotland over the last six years. The tools can be classified into those supporting search and retrieval, and those creating interfaces for historic georeferenced map layers. All of these viewers and tools have been made available on GitHub with commented code to encourage their onward use and future collaborative development by other libraries.
