The most significant body of maps drawn to illustrate urban boundaries in Scotland is now available on our website.
Plans of 75 Scottish towns were published in 1831-1832 to implement the Reform Act (Scotland) of 1832. ...
Our maps section on the 'Great Reform Act Plans and Reports, 1832' has zoomable digital images of all 75 plans. Also zoomable are the pages of a complete facsimile of the 153-page report to the House of Commons in which the plans were published. The report also contains details of each of the Scottish burghs, visited by the Parliamentary Boundary Commissioners who produced the town plans.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
